[Opinions] Re: WHY does no one know how to pronounce my name
in reply to a message by aoife
I think the reason as to why as been exhausted at this point, but try to keep yourself from being discouraged by people not getting it. My name is Megan, which most people would agree is very common in most countries where English is a first language, and I've gotten mispronounciations and so many misspellings. Then my last name is Hungarian and only about 10% of people get it right on their first shot. And that's probably mainly due to it not being of a Latin or germanic origin. I've actually come up with a saying to help people remember it so they don't feel like I'm offended, but also know that I care about its proper pronunciation. That could maybe be a good idea for you.
