I saw him speak at a convention once in Columbus and he said something about after several seasons, no one could still pronounce his name correctly. He may have been half joking.

Bashir is supposed to sort of an English Arabian character. His parents' names are Richard and Amsha. When they came to the station in "Doctor Bashir, I presume?" (DS9) they both had a definately Arab ancestry.

As Aban said, he was sick of people not being able to say his name correctly. I kind of understand too, I'd hate to go through life with a name everyone got wrong... actually I do, my last name gets mispronounced all the time.
Also Alexander was one of the names his mother was considering for him I believe. I got his autograph from before he changed his name which I think is cool.

Actually, I always thought the casting of Bashir's parents was really cool. Richard is clearly an Englishman living off-island, Amsha is clearly of non-European causcoid descent, but other than that no clue... The two together perfectly make up Bashir...
