Do you think children are disadvantaged by having 'non English' names?

[splashy]

I was think of calling my daughter Talia, which I think is a really pretty name and works well in English, but is also a Jewish/Israeli name which would reflect her heritage.

However several people have told me that I should give her a more 'Anglicised' name, as otherwise this might disadvantage her in life. I feel a bit miffed by this, but of course wouldnt want her to have a name which might mean she has difficulties later on.

What are your opinions on this? Any personal experiences?

Talia is a lovely name (although whenever I hear it I think it's spelled Thalia and that it's Greek in origin, I think she was one of the 9 muses).

I have a foreign name which has caused me no end of trouble, not because it's foreign, but because it's very difficult for English speakers to pronounce properly. Plus, when you look at it written down it seems to be a boy's name, rather than a girl's name.

Talia though is easy to pronounce correctly and it's clearly a girl's name. So I'd say go for it.
