I worked with a pharmacist called Ibrahim in Leicester.
He was called Ibram by people who knew him well.
In fact it was tricky as he was Ibrahim Mohammed*, so to the Muslim community his first name and last name were interchangeable (like Elton John). If someone called and asked to speak to Ibram, at least I knew it was a call he wanted to have put through. When they called to speak to Mohammed I guessed they'd only seen his name on a letterhead.
* I do not feel bad giving his full name as it is similar to John Smith.
