[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. I have not read all the replies so forgive me if I sound like an echo. I have a unique and long, hard-to-pronounce, last name. My first name is French and hard for some people to pronounce. Others get way more upset then me about mispronunciations. I just reassure people that it does not matter to me. I care that people are respectful, honest, Good humored and kind in the way they talk to you not how they pronounce my name. I make it as easy as possible for kids and adults and really don’t mind if they get it wrong but are trying. i don’t even correct people and let them use nicknames if they prefer. I make an effort with others with unusual names and usually ask them what their preferences are, and how to pronounce their names .. I know that it is really important for some people that people pronounce their names correctly. I just personally don’t care as long as our exchanges are pleasant. You have to do what feels authentic to you. [/quote]
