probably cause they're embarrassed by their greek name and don't want people to
mispronounce it....AND if they're truly getting acculturated into
english/scottish culture they are probably really excited (cause they all adore
the english so much...hehehe) and when they learn english in school they learn
that giorgos=george and that's just how it works in english speaking
countries...so...yeah :)ARE there any greek listees on here? i would LOVE to
practice my greek...
