Your name is Mishal,but they changed your name to Michael to suit them. The reason I ask is that Jesus Christs' (who was born in the Middle East and has a Middle Eastern name) real name was Eisa and Mary his mother was Maryam. Why people use a western (or a name suitable to pronounce in their country) to pray with?

I am not Middle Eastern but just taught of this question suddenly since I moved to a middle eastern country and got hold of this info about his real name according to the quran.

A person's name is important and should be pronounced correctly regardless of it's point of origin or ethnic background.
Many mispronunciations are unintentional and are sometimes accommodated by Middle Eastern persons in an attempt to mesh in Western society -- but be all this as it may; it's little enough to ask someone to get your name right. It's a fundamental courtesy in the diverse society we have evolved into.
Eisa is Arabic for Jesus. Being Jewish by birth, his actual name is Yeshua, the Hebrew for Joshua. The name Jesus arose from Anglicization of Yeshua and is merely an English translation.
The Aramaic, Greek, and Chaldea cultures likewise have their own interpretations of the names and use those in the context of their existence.

Some don't. I know many good Christians who "address" the Lord as "Yeshu'a" I prefer the Anglicized Jesus (Iesus) - Spanish speakers say "Hey-soos" - it's all the same.
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever....whatever name you choose to use.

So what? I cannot believe that your mind could even go there.
Why don't you ask, why any sane and intelligent person would believe that a child could be born to a virgin?

I think God is a little bit bigger and more forgiving than we are.
