Ai Haibara/Anita Hailey gets an Anglified name in the Viz manga because we had to match the anime version and that was the last name change they sent us. If I'd known they were going to cancel the anime before introducing her I could've just kept her Japanese name.

But was it an intentional commission of linguistic genocide?
Sir Ian Rankin's books are best-sellers, they make up more than 10% of the UK's crim-lit sales. And a resurrected Laidlaw was going to be an instant best-seller anyway. So it wasn't the market demanding that Laidlaw be Anglified.

My great grandparents were from Sweden, which had a system of naming where you’d be named after your father (I’d be Martynsdötter!)
When they came to the US, they wrote down an anglified version of the part of Sweden they were from
It’s a brand new invented name as of about 1930

Lots of us have great-grandparents names who were absolutely changed when they came here, and when people say otherwise, they're assuming your great-grandparents name was in the Roman alphabet.
Now, more than ever, it's important to understand why so many the myths we tell ourselves about immigration are actually very harmful.
First of all, your great-great-grandparents names *were not changed* at Ellis Island. No one there had the authority to do that.

Ah, whoops XDDD The englisch word would be Shish Kebab (or the anglified version, I suppose) and yep, in german we say "Ich mach Schaschlick aus dir!" "I'm gonna make Shish Kebab out of you" It's also used with the word Hackfleisch (minced meat)

Even the naming conventions (anglified though they surely are) seem to lean in that direction.

Also a couple of these are behemoths. Who gulps down a Stormlight Archives, I will never understand. Even on audio they are a massive undertaking. Shogun I cannot listen to on audio due to the anglified pronunciation of the Japanese. And why did I buy the hardcover of Life and Death by Steph Meyer?

That's a case of the latter being closer to Greek pronunciation and the former being the Latin / common-use English version.
Confusion not helped by Greek having a different alphabet, so you get fun, e.g. Hercules (Latin), Herakles (anglified Greek) with Greek being Iraklis (stressed differently) 🫠

In Greek, Odysseus is "Oh-dy-SEH-ass" (or if you're being more ancient, "Oh-dy-SEFS"). The Odyssey is "Oh-DY-si-ah". Maybe they're just using the anglified name, because we all know it and it's commonly understood?

Oh! Lol, I like the pirate "arr" but the Southern English "ah" as in "bath" is never the right sound for Greek. So it would be like Tabitha.
Bear in mind, there are also standard anglified words and names that Greek-speakers are used to hearing and may even use themselves when speaking in English.

It's complicated with Modern Greek and Ancient Greek (there are definitely huge differences), but we still have that word. It's pronounced "gad-A-vah-sis", so anglified would be "kat-A-bah-sis".

I just binged a couple of episodes of "Astrid" on my @pbs.org passport. They Anglified it with "Patience" which is very good but I like "Astrid" a wee bit more. Same with "Professor T". Bottom line,, I just sent them another $75 cause it's really worth.

After a dose of Moray Mentalists yesterday, I'm looking forward to getting away to Galloway, despite the storm tomorrow. It's equally anglified but at least people have social skills.

Omg. Todd's "real" name is Ivan! I named him that first, because he has a brother named Boris, who lives with friends of ours. But after awhile, he seemed like more of a Todd. So we kept both names, like you know how recent immigrants to America often take on Anglified nicknames. Hahaha.

Seems dependent on a lot of things. Including country. My wife is French and when they moved over here to the UK they needed to have their CV "anglified" as the expected format is different here. Including removing the photo.
