[quote=Anonymous]If you love it, go for it. There are never guarantees with pronunciation. I can’t tell you how many times people have butchered names I thought were simple - I had no idea people didn’t know how to pronounce Eliza for example, which is one of my kid’s names. But seriously half the people who see it in writing freeze or say “uh … eh …. Eh-li-ssa?” Or how many people call me by nicknames I don’t use just because they are common for my name. And while it depends where you live, if you’re in the DC area there are tons of unusual names from many languages. There are always at least five kids on the roster of each of my kids’ classes whose names I have no idea how to pronounce. But if my kids become friends with them, I learn. Not a big deal. [/quote]
