[quote=Anonymous]Working in healthcare, I do like walking in the room and saying “hello. ___“ and using the person’s name as part of greeting. So if it’s a name I’m not sure about I will very quickly follow up with a slightly apologetic sounding “did I pronounce your name correctly?“ And they can let me know if I didn’t. It’s potentially awkward if I say it wrong, but it’s also part of making sure I’m in the right room with the right patient. People are usually very nice about it if I haven’t gotten their pronunciation quite right[/quote]
