I'm troubled by my last name being BEG. In English it sounds like I'm really low on cash. Actually, the real pronunciation is BAYG (one has to say BAY but end with a G). Who in the English speaking world would ever want to pay any price for a painting if the last name on the signature made them wince. I'm seriously thinking of using the alternative spelling - many Begs spell their names as Baig.
Another problem is that one of my wife's American friends calls me TERIYAKEE instead of Tarique. Can you imagine a portrait signed by TERIYAKEE BEG !!!!
I have some work to do here.
