Thankyou.

Somewhat tangenitally, I am reminded of my maternal grandfather. He was known as James Bailey but was baptised Rudolph Broderick Kadansky. One story has it that he, and his elder brother, changed their names (Bailey was their mother's maiden name) in protest against their father. Another is that when they joined the army (pre-WW1) they were told to change their names to something English. Certainly the name change seems to date more closely to that event.

The "but I don't think of you as an immigrant" says a depressing amount about a lot :-(
