    There's no problem with my name. ^_^ Maybe once in awhile they'll say jeff-er-ee instead of jeff or jeff-ree

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Lemme see. My frist name is Stephanie so there's no problem there. Stef-uh-knee

    My middle name is Ann. If you can't pronounce than then have mercy on your soul.

    My last name ( for now ) is Babb. This irks me.
    Correct way - Buh-ab
    Wrong ways - BABE, BabbS, Babbah ?!?!?!?!?!?!?? There's four letters and two of them are repeated. Get it right, kthnx.

    The problem with my name is it's Finnish and I'm Belgian, so people don't speak Finnish, they speak Dutch.

    Name: Jarmo
    Correct way to pronounce it: 'Iaar'-moh
    Wrong way: 'Iarr'-mow

    I have come to accept the wrong pronunciation, though. Only my parents manage to say it correctly.

    Urgh.

    First Name:Kristina
    Not that hard to pronouce, no? But always, always, I get called Kristine, Kristy, Kristin, and other various forms of that. I should be used to it, I guess, but it bugs the crap out of me. Especially when people I know get it wrong. Ah, well.

    I won't go into my last name.

    Nobody has never mispronounced my name. Logan's pretty easy to say.

    but your middle name? :o not that many people say it out loud, but I was just curious if it's like "nole" or "no-ul" or "no-el" :o

    My name's Aislinn. Despite the way it looks, it's pronounced ashleen. It's often pronounced ehslynn, asslynn and one time some person called me eileen. I've gotten used to people mispronouncing it, though. So, I never really see it as a big deal when people mispronounce it anymore.

    My last name is pronounced right all the time, though. Because it's spelt the exact same way it's pronounced.

    I don't get too much problems. Most people can figure out Justin. Schuller isn't too hard. Shoe - Ler. The worst I can remember is my government teacher always said it to rhyme with duller.

    I do have a problem with people thinking my name is Jason, though. That has happened to me at 3 different jobs. It's kind of annoying.

    I don't even know how to pronounce my last name, but since its just a corruption of the name Calvert (my last name is Colvard), I just pronounce it COL-verd.

    My last name gets mangled horribly on a day to day basis. It has a German spelling which seems prone to causing mispronunciations. Tsk.
