What's in a Name?

Journalist Sangita Myska explores the importance of names, and the difficulties of having a name nobody can pronounce. She tries to book a table in a restaurant, and we hear just what this feels like when you have a "foreign" sounding name.

Years of garbled pronunciations and awkward corrections later, she now believes those challenges have helped her forge her sense of identity.

Sangita talks to other people whose names have had a huge effect on their lives and work in What's in a Name? on Radio 4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01nq2zp
