    Really? I've been saying it wrong, then. xD

    I've been thinking "eye-vin." That was my college counselor's name.

    No one misspronounces my name, but they always misspell my last name.

    Correct spelling: MacKenzie

    Others spell it as: Mackenzie, Mckenzie.

    I remember my dad misspelled it on a video once. It was because he did the credits late at night.

    i don't think i've ever said a name wrong, what i hate is when people purposely say my name wrong and use it for something stupid like...."carmaletta you know betta than to come outside in that scarf slash sweata" i wasn't even wearing a scarf OR sweater, that's being stupid

    Really? I've been saying it wrong, then. xD
    I've been reading the names before i read how to prnounce them and got this and a few others wrong.

    Nobody ever pronounces my maiden name correctly unless they were born and raised in Louisiana.

    My maiden name: Soileau
    How to say it: swallow
    What I've heard: You name it, I've heard it. Same goes for the rest of my cajun family. Guillot, Hebert, Ortego, Roudreaux...very few people ever pronounced them right.

    Neither my first names seem to cause anyone any grief. But my stepdad's last name is awful for getting mangled.

    Many thanks Christmas!
