Changing name when moving countries ?

Question:


I'll be moving to Japan next year for study and i was wondering if people change their name when they move overseas. My names Jessica and it would be trouble for me in Japan since you can't write Jessica in Kanji and Japanese people wouldn't be able to pronounce it properly like Westerners can't pronounce Asian names. And if people do change it, what to ?

Answer:


When people move temporarily like you are, they sometimes use a nickname, I have two friends who've done that. You could just go with Jess, or Jessie, because they shouldn't have much difficulty pronouncing those, especially Jessie.
