My name suddenly changes into Türüdi.
maybe, just maybe because you Dutch people have a strange ( ) way of pronouncing things! the street names in your country can only be rememberd as "this one", "that one", "the one with that river", "the one with 4 a´s and 6 t´s next to each other (in the name)"
I am afraid it must be something for Americans (of Polish descend...?) that they can´t pronounce our beautiful language. What is wrong with: ´Jonkheer Ruys de Beerenbroucklaan´? Easy, isn´t it?

I agree on what you say. I know someone by the name of "nayif" who had to change his name in france because it resembles "naive" and everyone used to laugh at his name.
I would say the name should be changed if it has a humiliating meaning in the other language.
Bobby might be a nice name for english speakers but in lebanon it means a puppy
My name in turkish means "paternal aunt"!
yeah, that´s hilarious I´m lucky that my name doesn´t have any meaning in english, nor does it resembe anything hahaha... but imagine being "Engin" and becoming "engine" in english for example...

For a neutral judgement: ask DK or Chantal, but I think you´re right!
