[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Xochitl is the Siobhan of the Spanish-speaking world. People might not know how to pronounce it, but they'll learn and it's so memorable they won't forget it.[/quote]

The problem is that Xochitl will have to teach thousands of people over the course of her life how to pronounce it. What a nightmare. Don’t do this to an American kid.[/quote]

God you are dramatic. I have a name that is difficult to pronounce and I often have to correct people (if they ask or if it's someone I interact with often, if it's the receptionist at my dentist office or something I don't say anything because I don't really care). I don't even think it's an inconvenience let alone a "nightmare."

FWIW, I know two Xochitls through work and went to high school with one (in a rural town in upstate New York). It's rare, and I do think many people will struggle with the pronunciation, but I don't think it's [i]that[/i] unheard of.[/quote]

One person’s pragmatic is another person’s dramatic, I guess.[/quote]
