What do you think about it- first impression.

Yes I know that most people value a person from a first impression in 5 seconds.But many times it is wrong.strange how today a women came to me and to say hi, I helped her family with moving few weeks ago.What is strange is that a year ago I rang to her sun and she answered the phone ,she asked who is it and shut the phone when I said my name.so I rang his mobile.''sorry'' he said.''why, did she said baldy foreigner'' I asked. ''oh no'' he said ''did you hear that?'' he asked.''no'' but I could guess.Sadly I know that in his country If i send an e-mail /a letter or ring. some people do not like my name or my accent and will delete it.I know that there are many salesman sounds like me on the phone, I think i woudnt shut he phone to them too.Anyway to get to know me better:My first name is Ofer - in Hebrew (Israel, Bible) mean a young deer (bambi)The second name is El-Hashahar means 'to the done' or 'God of the done'I think about changing my name ( even that it is only my nearest family with this sir name) .I thought about Jeffri as it got some similar sound.My wife think it is an old name: what do you think?I ask you as friends.

    Be yourself Ofer.
  • stick with your given name Ofer, be proud...........some of my children have old family names ,for middle names,so the family names live on......
  • Thank you all,
    I am proud of my name , but do not want it to stop people from contact me.think about e-mail that you get with a name from chine most people direct it to the been.

    many old generation I met here still scared from non English, or few illy ones that still think that out of england it is a primitive world- like in the days of the British Empire (hard to believe).

    I think what I should do is write about myself in the blog and add a link in my email/letters- that people can get to know me.

    I never thought name is that important- but thank you all, for your thought.
    all the best
    wonderful Christmas and great year to all LJ memb
  • its difficult - people can be pre-judice , but what will be will happen in life ? so your here now in England under no pretences , you have done good jobs so no problem.
    you could change it to 'JAMES BOND' >--/--:> ...

"I haven't use liquid iron but do use soluble iron sulphate, takes a wee bit more mixing as it's a powder but I find it goes further and is cheaper than the liquid, I get mine from agrigem."

Groundleader replied to Peter sellers's discussion Retirement advice
"This is definitely NOT my field of expertise, but I'd guess what most buyers might be interested in, could include:
1)  What's the realistic market value of your "hard" assets (vehicles, machinery, tools, materials etc).
2)  For the "goodwill" part…"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Dougie's discussion Looking for a new roller machine
"Buy an old Honda roller mower, the new ones break in 18 months and cost you £500 that is then repeated every 12 months.
