[quote=Anonymous]As someone with a name that has multiple potential pronunciations (Andrea), it’s not that big of a deal. If someone says one of the other pronunciations when first meeting, I just say, “I actually go by anne-dree-ah” and move on. Any sane person will not be offended because it’s not intended to offend but to inform. It’s the same concept as when my friend Elizabeth tells someone that she goes by Beth. Part of being an adult is learning to speak up. It’s not pretentious or too extreme to tell someone how you pronounce your name.[/quote]
