[quote=Anonymous]If it bothers you so much - change or adapt it to make it easier to pronounce. My name gets butchered regularly (3 syllables, foreign) - I couldn't care less. If I see it's hard to repeat for the person - I tell them to just use first letter and be done with it. Some of my friends just started using nicknames like Ana for Anastasia. PS I shorted my DC when I signed him up for school sooo many years ago only for him to change it back to very hard to pronounce for most Americans (and he patiently corrects his acquaintances to do it right). But he actually enjoys conversations about it, not being annoyed. He does use short version in Starbucks and such for convince, of course [/quote]
