Language / It is not possible to translate names into English or Polish! [52]
What if it takes too long to get used to pronounce it by an English speaker?
I have a mate called Marcin and all the English call him Martin cause non of them is even close to say Marcin correctly. And he wouldn't tolerate someone mispronouncing his name in some awkward way which is fair enough, especially when you can translate it to English that is nice and easy.
What if you like your name but you don't like the way that English speakers mispronounce it?
even it takes some time to get used to pronounce it...:-)

If you yourself don't like your name you are free to change it, if not.......
