My best mate was called Rudolph. Needless to say he changed it to Rudi. Which he liked and suited him really well, though he did say he got the distinct impression that it counted against him when he was applying for jobs, people assuming him to be black (which I'm afraid he did feel hurt his chances as often as not).
I'm sure that's less of an issue now than when he was job-hunting 20-30 years ago, tho' I wish I could say with full confidence it doesn't remain to at least some degree 'an issue'. Put it this way: I'd rather be a Nick applying for a job than a Winston...
