My new buddy Mark Jonson here reminds me of something that happened to a friend of mine.
My friend went to teach English in China. Everyone in class had taken several years of English and they had all picked English names for themselves as language students often do. One student in the class, a guy, was a little embarrassed to give the English name he had picked. "My teachers always laugh when I tell them my name," he said. My friend promised not to laugh at him and asked him to tell her his name. It was Jennifer.
In other news though, I have Christian friends from India who have English names and English is their second language.
