Wow, that's a different name...eh?

Seriously.

I know my name is different. I get it. But seriously, fuck off with your insulting self.

Comments like strange, unusual, weird aren't compliments.

YOUR FACE IS STRANGE UNUSUAL AND WEIRD.

[~Sc@ndelu$~]

I can totally relate... BASTARDS!

[wishbone]

It'd be worse if it was Ivana...people born with that name are just asking to be punned up :P

[mojo]

That is what I just said to the lady on the phone cause she kept trying to correct me on the pronunciation of my name.

Then when she finally got it, she was like, well isn't that a strange name.

FUCK OFF BITCH, I KNOW MY FUCKING NAME.

ps - my last name is a doozey to. my parents hated me.

Avana Eileen Gjendem

It is more insulting when your friends insist that your name sounds better pronounced wrong. (you know who you are)

UGH - There is no way to shorten my name.

When people try to, it makes me want to kick their teeth in.

Av does not sound cool, neither does Van.

[Ms.Tarantula]

I actually get this alot too..

My name is pronounced 'LAYAH' though its spelt Leah...

And then ppl I dont know come up with the whole 'Oh like princess Leia from Star Wars!?'

FUCK I HATE THAT

[Fangle]

I once had my high school english teacher argue with me for like 20 min that my name should be pronouced 'curry'
also, some of my best friends parents have been calling me carrie for 7 years cause they just can't pronounce my name no matter how hard they try

in most cases the "I" in ivana is pronounced as an "E", so when you say, "ivana? so you're name is ivana? is your last name humpalot?" you're actually coming across as an ignorant, rude, buffoon.

HEHEHE sorry but I so had to

[charly]

people can pronounce my first name (unless they're seriously french), but they never spell it properly!

my last name, no one ever pronounce properly, even though it's SO easy.. people always stumble over it and come up with other stupid names like step, or stealth.. or whatever other idiotic letter combo that pops into their head.

[crookedking]

sherill isn't a hard name to spell????

[Carrie]

I love your name!

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

My name isnt different..or strange..or even hard to say..but for some annoying reason people just cant say it right.

LAUR EN

Not lorn..not lor ann or lor in

thanks

[Alex]

people always fuck up my last name. It's so freaking easy too. Tarnava. Tar-na-va. so easy. Very very rare people actually get it right. it boggles my mind.

[crookedking]

my last name is Morten and people always fuck that one up.

[cutienikki]

K seriously my name is the easiest. Nikita.

They either spell it Nakata, Nikkita,Niikita,Nekita, <---- some people say it like this too.

some people try to say it like they get the first syllable (sp?) and then they will pause and look at me, then i have to walk them through it. NI-KI-TA

Like wtf. NIKITA! its not a hard name like some other people ive met.

I also get "Oh like the tv show?" and or "Oh the Elton John song too right? "
I don't mind it just as long as they say my name right!
