Say my name correctly, tool!

What stupid and/or ridiculous ways have you had your name pronounced and how have you reacted? Mine takes the cake.

Real name: Rowell
Correct way to pronounce it: Ro-well
Stupid ways people have pronounced it: Rou-wull; Row-wull; Roll; Ra-wool; Roswell(How in the blazing Hell do you get Roswell out of Rowell?! I've actually had a teacher write my name as Roswell...). This takes the cake: Roland. This one doesn't even deserve a comment. :rolleyes2

I usually swallow my pride, sigh in my head, and don't correct anyone when they say my name incorrectly.

My last name seems to be really hard to say.

It's Kolek, pronounced "Coh-leck". All the time I hear "Kah-lack" or "Coh-lack" or "Coh-lick". It's annoying.

I get called Jeremy alot. I have no clue why. In what way does the 'iah' in Jeremiah form the 'y' sound? For Pete's sake.

Jelli, how do you pronounce your name? And Yazoo, I would love my teachers if they called me Caramella.

Chinese. XD And no. People usually get jiao right, but no one can pronounce yue. i don't even know how to spell it out to pronounce in English. o_0

Edit: Ok. You-eh. Except really quickly so it's one syllable. And jiao is jiow. In a high monotone tone.

it's actually okay when my friends do it because they do it on purpose, but it's the wackos who say it Caramella to either be funny or because they're too stupid to know how to pronounce my name

I'm sure you would SB
