While going through the great name debate for my daughter due in a few weeks, I have had a few people say that with a 'difficult to pronounce' african surname... that we MUST have a first name that is 'english/european' or else risk her being discriminated against.
Would love to know what mumsnetters think... I am mixed european descent, hubby is west african. Is judgement still passed these days on names?
For example is Alice Kweli far better than Afia Kweli?
Would like honesty, am not offended either way, in fact we like a handful of both african and european names...just wondering what you thought....
