My name is Kallakuttapillam Yogendra Yadav.. so can it be Kallakuttapillam Yogendra (Kelly) Yadav on the resume?
I hope this is a joke cause your first name translates into black dog eye disease. I have personally not heard of anyone having name of Kallakutta. Assuming your first name is south indian origin your last name is north indian. So a combination of the two is really weird, and your username starts with singh.....hmmmmm???

Also, if your name is Singh, I am assuming you are a guy and if you are a guy, you may not want to take the nickname "Kelly" as it is a predominantly female name. I would suggest picking another name such as "Kyle" for example.

You could give your self an English name, many people do it cause its hard to pronounce their real name


Here are some examples, but stick to the original syllable

Petroshenko becomes Peter
Petroshenko is a last name lol but everything else is legit!
