What's in a name?

So, this guy keeps leaving comments about how I picked my Jewish name. I thought I would humor him and make it a new topic.

I do know people who had it easy: Rebecca becomes Rivkah or Ann becomes Chana or maybe Amelia becomes Amalia. Maybe Molly becomes Malkah, Michelle becomes Michal, Suzy becomes Shoshana or Shoshi. If you have it real easy, your name is something like Sarah so you become Sarah.
