I have an American first name cause my Mom named me. I also have a Pakistani name that was given to me by my dadi for which we had to go through name change in Pakistan when I lived there. Since I am back in the US and name change here is more than just getting an affidavit I decided to keep my american name. My whole family in Pakistan including my wife calls me that when talking in urdu and switches it back and forth depending on who she is talking to. I asked but she said it doesn’t bother her.

How does it feel having two very different first names? Do you feel closer to one name more than the other since your dadi named you the Pakistani one?
Does it bother you that your wife never calls you by your non-Pakistani first name?
