[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I repeat whatever they say. My friend's last name is Polish but she goes by the Americanized pronunciation of it. I didn't even know it had a different pronunciation until we had been friends for a decade. It's kind of sad because then you lose the uniqueness of your name, but I do get it. [/quote] I studied Polish and if I pronounce peoples last names correctly, more than half the time they correct me that they use an Americanized pronunciation. My own name is Julie and I work with a lot of Chinese people who cannot say this name. It comes out as Juri-ah always. Doesn't bother me at all.[/quote]
