Absolutely, but these guys are in Delhi and most overseas call centres with Indian staff will naturally have names that are typically Indian rather than British or western. I don't think we were considering British people with overseas roots.

Quite a few people with atypical names in Britain will use an anglicised variant of their name outside of their community.
