I'd still rather explain it than walk around as Maple. People in mono-cultural settings could benefit from some expansion of awareness of other cultures anyway. Just because people grow up in a bubble with limited awareness of the world beyond them doesn't mean they have to stay in the unaware bubble... and my point was that those around the person w/ the name would get used to it quickly and it would be really easy to say, so it wouldn't be a problem... not like if I used a name with the Ry consonant cluster.
