Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

It's just as annoying to get some stupid nickname or to have your real name mispronounced all the time.
It's more of a case-by-case basis.
If my last name was Wong, but I was born in an english speaking country, it would make sense, especially in, for example, the cultural melting pot of the United States, to have an english name such as Arnold.
There are worse things to be called.

For many yearsIt has been traditional for Chinese familys to give an extra english first name to children for them to use in dealings with western society.
