No self-respecting person should accept Anglicization unless she or he's English. Then again, decolonizing the mind has always been the toughest task for us descendants of the colonial petit-bourgeoisie created to exploit, impoverish and oppress our own people. No wonder we so happily become "American", "British", "Australian" or what have you even after spending just a few years in Massah's backyard often built on oppression. No wonder we're so quick to minimize the importance of learning and knowing Bangla whilst taking so much pride in speaking unaccented English like our creators. Ever so eager to remain deliberately ignorant of who we are, so that we can be an anecdote in someone else's history. Always wanna be someone or something we're not, often without knowing just what it is we're running away from. That's self loathing. Some make utterly unsubstantiated claims of foreign ancestry for this reason. Some even choose to breed the Bangali out of ourselves altogether. A Coconut is what a Coconut does.

Anyway, Anglicization is better in someways than intentionally goofy translations of names to make them sound dumb, and rob them of their etymological and philosophical depth in the process. Happened a lot in US with Native American names.
