Umm.... my Chinese friend finds it difficult to pronounce your name, or for that matter mine. That does not mean its difficult to converse with him. Atleast I don't find so.
so when you find a name difficult to pronounce you use a nickname - all my chinese friends have nicknames and dont feel insulted when i use the nick instead of the full name
