OP, one thing to remember is that the ladies on this board are either super wasp-y or southern country girls, none of whom have been exposed to people outside of their small circles. Meanwhile, this is a diverse area and most people will know how to pronounce your name. I would pronounce it properly, as would almost everyone I know. I'm sorry you someone ended up with the southern country mamas today.

Pronouncing it Hawnah sounds pretentious. Oh, Hawnah, dawling, how are Muffy and Sporto doing?

I have a similar name (German). I use it as a middle name as an adult. I still like it a lot but it got really old having it constantly mispronounced.
