<p>My teachers can't and it's kind of funny how they try to pronounce it lol. Lots of people too, including my peers have trouble.</p>
<p>Anyone else in the same situation?</p>
<p>eh yea. when i moved to the US, there was this messup with the passports.</p>
<p>now my "first name" is completely messed up. everyone is like ..."iadsfioja!?" no its not similiar to that. that was just an example of their attempts to say something coherent.</p>
<p>then they're like "is it tan, or tang, or tahn."
"-_-"</p>
<p>Haha, 4 out of the 6 letters in my name are vowels. Nuff said.</p>
<p>lmao. At least they can easily get my last name...since it was Obama's fmr last name and a fmr. notorious dictator's hahaa</p>
<p>haha no...my guidance counselor who absolutely loves me and knows me very well misspelled my name on a card she sent me over winter break...</p>
<p>A lot of people misspell my last name, but I can't remember anyone not pronouncing it correctly.</p>
<p>My last name is frequently mispronounced and misspelled.</p>
<p>Some of my grade school teachers mispronounced "Miguel" (not my first name). They said it as if the "uel" made a "well" sound. How sad is that?</p>
<p>"Mig-gwell." Lol. (Shame on you if you pronounce it this way).</p>
<p>I am a parent, and my maiden name was very difficult for many people to spell and/or pronounce. I thought I would be happy to change my name when I got married--but when the time came, it took me an entire year to make the switch; it was just tough to give up MY name, even though I now have an easy one-syllable last name.</p>
<p>my name is stephen, pronounced 'steven'</p>
<p>everyone spells it stephan and/or pronounces it "steffen"</p>
<p>a little obnoxious. the name really isn't uncommon.</p>
<p>my name is so common that everybody should get it right, but I've had some teachers pronouncing an e in my name, where there is no e. And they stared on the attendance list while doing so. I am always surprised how many people make up that e.</p>
<p>People can easily pronounce my first name, but they always seem to have trouble pronouncing my last name. I don't understand why. It's not that hard. But people always manage to rearrange letters and add extra syllables where they don't need to be. lol.</p>
<p>I'm not going to share my last name on here but lets just say I've had several teachers mispronounce my name with pronouncing "smith" as "smithe"</p>
<p>My last name is French and people always try to say it with these terrible false accents. I just want to say "No, my family decided to make it easy for you. Just say all the letters, like you would with any English word."</p>
<p>Haha, my last name is He, but it's not supposed to be pronounced like "he." I've stopped caring. In fact, I even get annoyed when teachers try to pronounce it. It's like, seriously, you're not going to make it sound better, just say "he."</p>
<p>my last name is sergeant, which is a legitimate word in the english language, but people still seem to pronounce it wrong. i dont understand.</p>
<p>^haha wow thats really sad yet funny</p>
<p>no teachers can pronounce my name, ever
i dont like my name though i might change it, or add a middle name since i don't have one</p>
<p>First name: Yes (it's an English word)
Last name: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (and it's not my username)</p>
<p>No.
I've been called "Jessica," "Julie", "Julia", "Jill", "Jalyssa", "Alyssa", "Jane", "Margaret" (I'm not sure how they got that one...)
I think people look at my name, get intimidated and blurt out the first thing that pops to their mind.</p>
<p>Johnson is a doozey, but I feel bad for those Smith's</p>
