New names overseas

Are the new names in the foriegn temples given in their language?
I'd hate to see some lady in Japan struggle to say Meredith.

I almost went through the swiss temple for my first time. I was terrified I'd get a name I could not pronounce.

By the same token. I know several foreign ladies who ended up with english names they despise.

You wouldn't believe how resourceful us non-Americans can get when it comes to de-Americanizing biblical names...

They don't in Europe, not sure about elsewhere. I think they are on a different schedule than us temples. My name doesn't match on the temple oracle. I went through Frankfurt, and I got the name Sam.

Sure, they do in Europe, even in Frankfurt ;-) ...

There are different lists for different decades ..

Maybe you can help to complete the lists with your date.

Nope. Not here in the Philippines. It's the exact same name given in American temples. The temple oracle was spot on with my new name - Amulek.
