Thank you for sharing this delightful story. You have a gift for bringing joy to others. Years ago, I faced similar suggestions from mentors who felt my name wouldn't resonate in English-speaking countries, potentially hindering my professional growth in the corporate world where I worked for over 40 years. While I appreciated their concerns, I ultimately chose to honor my heritage and keep the name given to me by my grandparents. I've never regretted that decision.
