Mahmure´s gender is feminine and it´s not funny at all. Only a cincon supporter (tunci) could like it

Brazilian playmaker Alex asks PM for Turkish citizenship
| Spor Toto Super League side Fenerbahçe’s Brazilian captain-playmaker Alex de Souza has conveyed his wish to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to become a Turkish citizen. |
| |
|
Erdoğan accepted Alex and Fenerbahçe President Aziz Yıldırım at the Prime Ministry yesterday. At the gathering Alex personally asked the prime minister to become a Turkish citizen. Upon this request, Erdoğan jokingly asked Alex whether he had picked a Turkish name. Yıldırım gifted Erdoğan with four jerseys as the prime minister presented ties to his guests.
Even if the Brazilian star acquires Turkish citizenship, he will not be eligible to play for the Turkish national football team because he has already played for the Brazilian team. The 33-year-old has been playing for Fenerbahçe since 2004 and has scored more than 100 goals in these seven years. He renewed his contract with the İstanbul team on Feb. 9, 2011. Alex is accepted as one of the best foreign footballers who have played in Turkish football leagues. He has an important role in Fenerbahçe’s two domestic championship wins in 2005 and 2007. Another successful foreigner serving Turkish sports, Montenegrin-Italian coach Bogdan Tanjevic, under whose helm the Turkish national basketball team became the silver medalist in the 2010 World Basketball Championship held in Turkey, was granted Turkish citizenship along with his family last week upon President Abdullah Gül’s approval.

WISH: Alex (R) last month officially applied and made his wish clear while visiting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (C) along with Fenerbahçe chairman Aziz Yıldırım (R). AA photo
Fenerbahçe footballer Alex de Souza was granted Turkish citizenship, Lig TV reported on Tuesday.
The Brazilian star, who is also the captain for Fenerbahçe, last month officially applied and made his wish clear while visiting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan along with Fenerbahçe chairman Aziz Yıldırım.
The football captain’s name on Turkish ID card will be “Aleks,” spelled the way his name is pronounced in Turkish. Phew!

Alex is short for alexander and it´s turkish version is iskender and it´s often shortened to iski. And you know we like to add -cim to the names: iskicim.  (see Levent Kırca)

He has been in TR for about 7 years, his daughter is receiving education in Turkish schools and speaks Turkish fluently, his other daughters were all born in TR, he is a model for other players with his family life, and the most important thing is with his desire, he wanted to be a Turkish citizen...

It´s meaningless to ask him to change the name given to him by his parents. Since there is no "x" letter in our alphabet just fix it and that´s it. What more else?

Usually the name change occurs when someone changes is religion and decides to become a muslim.
For example; Steven Demetre Georgiou (stage name Cat Stevens) became Yusuf Islam, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr became Muhammad Ali, Ferdinand Lewis "Lew" Alcindor, Jr. became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

My thought... just change the name to Aleks for official things, and put Alex with an X on everything else. The Dutch alphabet doesn´t include an ö or ü either, but official documents can include these letters, so many Turkish people can still keep their names (including ´weird´ letters) as they are. The letters ı, ş, ğ and ç are not registered in the Dutch computers, so they can´t be included in official documents. However, you see these letters around Holland none the less on unofficial things. I´m not bothered by it, so let the man keep his X as well

That wouldn´t give the feeling that he is an insider. "X" is alien to us. It reminds us outsiders.

So... ü and ö are alien to "us" Dutch too, but Turkish people here still use it on their foreign documents, and letters like ğ are also used unofficially. I didn´t hear an official complain from the Turkish government that Turks need to work harder to not be perceived as "alien" in Holland, and lose those letters Turkey is becoming more international, and I´m sure people would get used to an X as well.

The thing is Turkish alphabet was designed as a phonemic one. (You can write down what you hear). X can be written as "ks" using our alphabet.
We are talking about a new Turkish citizen here. Are you talking about Dutch citizen Turks? So what happens when a Turk named "Özgür" for example is granted Dutch citizinship? Is his name preserved or written as Ozgur?

I am talking about citizens. The ö pops up everywhere. And people who have letters that the system doesn´t recognize like ğ use those letter unofficially. I remember one of the kids in my class, his name was Doğan, while he was born in Holland. Only after starting to learn Turkish I discovered that we had all been saying his name wrong. We don´t have this silent ğ in Holland, so everybody called him Dogan. We all talk a lot about Europeans not accepting Turks on this website, but what does this whole letter issue say about Holland and Turkey. How Turks behave in Holland, and how foreigners are expected to behave in Turkey?
