[quote=Anonymous]DH’s entire name is distinctly French, but if he pronounces his first name correctly, people repeat it back in the Americanized pronunciation. He goes no further with the French version as he says the level of respect (disrespect) has been determined. He does not speak French, but I do and also have a French first and middle name (which have clear American pronunciations), so it’s been an interesting experience, especially when I was working in France and Switzerland and people tried to speak to him. We have chosen a girl and boy name that fit the same model - think Jacques/Jack. [/quote]
