UK, Ireland / Polish people in the UK using the English version of their name? [56]

My name is Malgorzata and i always introduce myself as Gosia (shortname) or Malgorzata, which hardly anyone is able to pronounce. I live in uk and i really hate it when people change Polish people using the English version of their name. how pathetic...

the other thing is when i tell Brits that my name translates into Margaret, they ask me: what are you, 80 years old?
