Raphael into Ralph.(m)
I know a couple of guys from the Middle East(o.k., am related to them by marriage) who were named Chaiker, but went by *Chuck* upon coming to Canada.
Myself, I wouldn't have thought Chaiker was so hard!
My husband has a name completely unused outside the Middle East, but he didn't change it. People had no trouble, in French or in English.
