For decades I have Anglo-fied my name to make it easy for non-Persians to say. From today, I am going to pronounce my name on TV the way it is supposed to be pronounced when my parents named me. Let's see what interesting variations I get on the Real McCoy version now 😂🤣
@NassimKhadem The Blackburn Persian Pizza is ace as are the owners and staff ...and the mile long queue for Sunday Persian bread. Brilliant
@NassimKhadem @NassimKhadem Did you approve of Katherine Robertson’s pronunciation of your name tonight on The Business?
@NassimKhadem I can't wait to hear it! What us the Persian way of saying "Nassim Khadem"? Does it mean pronouncing the "Kha" as a sort of throaty trilled "Ha"?
@NassimKhadem Non Anglo names have beautiful stories. Worked in travel. Always tried to convince Chinese guides to use their real names and explain the story of their names. Far more interesting than being introduced as Kevin or Jean from Beijing. ps I love Persia 💚
