Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the anglicization of Greek first names, being, to the best of our knowledge, the first to do so, investigating both speakers’ beliefs and motivations, as well as listener’s reactions and evaluations. A survey of 26 Greek respondents captured the reasons and opinions surrounding the practice of name anglicization from a younger perspective. Subsequently, an experiment with 132 participants investigated how individuals reacted to either original Greek names or their anglicized counterparts.
