My mom's maiden name is a fairly unique Polish name ending in "fajn". A third of my family pronounces it "fawn" and a third of my family pronounces it with "fane" and another third pronounces it ending in "fine".

I guess I would go by "Fawn" since that's the pronunciation I use and the closest thing to a first name I can get out of it. It would be spelled Fajn though, and that would be odd.

Somewhere way back in my family tree is someone with the last name "Bagelopter" (or something similar to that). Now, that would make a terrible first name.
