I arrivaled Qatar several days ago. I found that thoese people who are of Arabic background  are not accustomed  to the English name "Hugh", for when I have myself introduced, I alway have to spell it even for several time. Is it true?  Should I just change my English name? What about Abu? Is it an acceptable name? I mean it does not conflict with Arabic culture or something else? What is the correct pronunciation?  

 well, I'm Chinese, Abu pronounces just sound like my chinese nickname.

Thanks for your kindness!
