I was just making an observation because I know how much of a nuisance it can be, I'm not saying don't use it.
I can see the errors that will be made here because of my own experience. My parents named me from their culture (rather than from mine) but within that culture there's also several ways to pronounce it, which adds to the confusion.
one friend with the same ethnic origin as mine has a Greek name, because her mum was studying Greek mythology at the time.
I get annoyed with the whole "oh well if it's from your culture, it's fine but otherwise not" thing. We all live in the world.
Re the meaning of Deepti, that is lovely - but my name also has a lovely meaning and it doesn't stop the errors people make.
Maybe only Johns and Janes don't get mispronounced.
I had a Helene at work tell me off constantly about the second e length and emphasis. She said it really upset her. I felt awful but I was doing my best.
sorry OP, perhaps I shouldn't say anything. The world is mad.
