[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is the problem with a name that people may be unclear on the pronunciation for?  It's just not a big deal to me when people ask how to say my name; I'm glad they care enough to ask.  Rhys is not a hard name to actually vocalize the sounds for once people know how it's said.

I had a boss named Rhys.  He's a whitebread, 50-something year old American male. It was the type of job where he had 100+ new employees every year from all over the country and all backgrounds and his name was never a topic of conversation ever.  I never heard anyone have an issue with it.  It was as unremarkable as Bob. [/quote]

Right? My coworker named their kids [b]really strange names[/b]- the second was Xiomara. Everyone just kept asking “how’s the baby?” because no one knew how to pronounce it (or how to spell it). Rhys is nothing in comparison.[/quote]

It was #848 in the US last year, between Paula and Aiyana. 319 baby Xiomaras. It's a pretty common Spanish-language name, so plenty of people know how to pronounce it, and spell it too.
