Re: Picking a Pronunciation
I would try to avoid names with multiple pronunciations or names in which the normal pronunciation differs from your preferred. If you do have to use such a name, I would suggest using the accepted pronunciation. It's just too much of a hassle to constantly have to correct people every time they mispronounce your name.No one has ever pronounced my surname correctly at first glance, so now when telling people my surname, I just pronounce it the way everyone else does.
