HelpRe: We talk about the slaughter of spellings, what about pronunciations? (ETA)
in reply to a message by Ceridwen
That is insane that people can't pronounce Joanie. Seriously. The way they're saying Keith though just sounds like someone saying it with a major Southern accent. :P
I've never had any pronunciation problems with my own first name, but I have had people misread or mishear it as Sharon, Shawna, or Janet.
ETA: I just thought about my cousin. Her name is Danielle, and she's told me more than once about people not being able to pronounce her name right. They'll say it like Dani-elle or Daniel. It's a popular name, I just don't get it!
