I have met some immigrants who have chosen their own English names. Sometimes their birth names are just too difficult for English speakers to pronounce.
Many years ago, I knew a woman from Holland. She gave herself the name Helen, just because she thought it was beautiful.
Recently, I work in a company with a couple of men from China.
One uses the first name Francisco, and the other uses Lester.
I really should ask them how they came up with these names!?
