Your name on website is listed as: ILIAS ISMANALIJEV
English isn't my native language, but I lived in US for 20+ years.
There are a lot of practical jokes based on names, such as spell 'CUP' (see you pee).
When I look at your name, I see 'ISM' followed by a foul 4-letter word. (that last word in US is going to get some giggles).
My suggestion would be to get a different translation for your last name. You could probably even cut it to Isman.
Although maybe I'm the only one who sees it this way.
Please do not be offended.
This is similar advice I just had to pass on to a friend 'Svetlana', to call herself 'Lana', instead of 'Sveta', as in US 'Sveta' isn't easy to pronounce, and 'Lana' sounds better to American-born from what I see.
- nayefc 14y agoThis is ridiculous. And why do non-Americans have to comply with white American names?

- michaelbuddy 14y agoYou don't. Choices produce results. That's life and not because of a particular country.
- nayefc 14y agoI have a non-American name and never had an issue with it. In fact, I may be have been extra lucky at times.
