FAQ

Do international-friendly names lose cultural meaning?

Not necessarily. Many short and readable names still have strong meanings and deep tradition. You’re just optimizing daily practicality.

Should I choose a “global” spelling even if my family uses another form?

Either can work. If your family strongly prefers one spelling, keep it—just be consistent on documents.
