Just heard a friend of mine introduce himself as "amyaat" which was too funny. Granted that nepalis want to make it easy for amricans to call them but its funny when they happily massacre their own names to be accepted.

Amit becomes Amyaat
Anil becomes Enil
Arun becomes Erin
Binay becomes bi-naa-yay
Bhupesh becomes Bupaaish
Sujan becomes Shoejaaan
Amrit becomes Emrit
Sunil becomes Saniel
Puskar becomes Pushcar
Kiran becomes Kee-ran
Samir becomes Sam or Syammer

more later. ..
