That's so ridiculous, and so offensive to us. It's implying that 1) we will only talk to people with "American" names 2) we wouldn't be able to understand their Indian names. There was a kid named Pradeep at my high school, and he sure as hell didn't go around calling himself "Pete." Don't lie to me - and it IS a lie - use your real name, or at least your real nickname!!

The over-niceness makes me nuts. I called Cingular once asking a question about ringtones and the guy fell over himself saying "I am so sorry you are distressed" and I was like no, I'm NOT distressed, I just want you to answer a simple question that I don't know.
