[quote=Anonymous]Ehhh, I think this is a uniquely American worry. I am a Russian immigrant with a name that is NBD in Russian but is close to impossible for an American to pronounce properly - some of the letters in it don't even have an English equivalent and I have never met an American who could pronounce it properly. Who cares and why does it matter? Most Russians would have problems with some American names, also - it's just common sense that it's easiest for people to pronounce names correctly when it's closer to what they are familiar with. Mispronouncing is not a sign of bad intention or some craven and wrong desire to fit in but just most people not spending too much energy on something that really isn't that important.[/quote]
