I understand the 'do as the Romans do when your in Rome' but this is a bit over the edge.

With people like this, the USA are on a slow yet steady slip towards fascism. Won't be long before name changes are obligatory as they were in Slovenia under the Italian and German occupation.

You know I thought this sounded familiar, I recollected how they gave out names at Ellis Island during the dramatic influx of immigrants.

Like in Blazing Saddles where everyone's last name was Johnson.

Not really. It was pretty common all they way up through the 60's and 70's for European immigrants to change their name to something more easily pronounced by Americans. She grew up in a time where that was normal.
