When viewing my resume, my name, Ayo Ijidakinro (Nigerian), is often mistaken for Japanese. Especially because I had on my resume that I speak some Japanese.

When viewing my resume, my name, Ayo Ijidakinro (Nigerian), is often mistaken for Japanese.
Especially because I had on my resume that I speak some Japanese.
When I show up for the interview there is surprise.
The syllables are identical.
A-yo I-ji-da-kin-ro
ア-ヨ イ-ジ-ダ-キ-ン-ロ
Have always found it interesting.
- ashirviskas 2y agoThat's interesting, because Kinro or キ-ン-ロ is an actual name in Japanese (or at least some Anime that I watch)
- mastersummoner 2y agoAyo Edebiri has it easier I'm guessing; her last name sounds less ethnically ambiguous I'd say.
- marethyu 2y agoYour name doesn't sound Japanese to me unless it ends with u vowel so that your last name sounds like Ijidakinrō.
