I write for The Sunday Times newspaper and have heard some Polish people coming to work here in the UK have changed their name as they think it can make life easier while they are here.
One company even suggested to me that some Polish people have felt adopting a more English-sounding name leaves them less likely to be discriminated against when applying for jobs.
I would be very interested to speak with anyone tonight or tomorrow who has come to the UK recently and opted to change their name for a more English-sounding name. I can be reached on the telephone number below.
Best regards,
