Naming a name

My (official) name's Katarzyna but I'm not a cruel person and go by Katya most of the time ;)

People were constantly mispronouncing my surname even in my own country. I'm sure most people around the world would have problems pronouncing it properly, maybe except Ukrainians, Russians and lookalikes cos it sounds pretty close to their surnames. My name is so simple and common around the world nobody should have problems pronouncing it (maybe with some accent), same with my second name.

My name's Jiří, so basically any foreigner will have troubles with it and even a certain portion of chechnya has troubles with ř's. :-P
At least I'm not named Řehoř.

e: like this

I live in the part of the country where people have a lazy tongue. I always pronounce my name the way I want it said when meeting new people and they always drawl it back.

Nathan is fine, nobody has trouble. Mackenzie works alright, no real problems. But once people see Montague, they go soft in the head.

You'd think more people would recognize and know to say a name from one of Shakespeare's most popular plays.

I'm lucky that Richard is a common English name so I either get the french or English pronunciation. Same goes for my last name (Martin).

The main problem I have is people reversing them since they can both be either first or last names.

I don't think anyone has ever pronounced Ashley wrong since it's pretty straightforward, but many people have butchered my last name.

p.s. I like your name! I can see why people would mispronounce it though, I would've gotten it wrong it as well. :(

My first and last name are difficult to pronounce and write in my country. For example at Starbucks I usually just said another name so I don't have to spell it xD

My name isn't that hard to say but it tends to give english natives pause because it's a latin name and in latin-based languages we pronounce the letter "i" as an i rather than the japanese word for love the english language insists in calling the letter i.

I really enjoy when english speakers pronounce my nickname, since they don't know that it should sound similar to english pronunciation of 'moyak'. Their version reminds me of Kojak :)

Bump

My name is Charlotte. You's think that'd be an easy name to pronounce right? It doesn't happen so often anymore, but I live in the US and some people will pronounce it as Charrrrlitte. It's probably more of an accent thing but it's still slightly annoying

People butcher the spelling, but not the pronunciation(except for when they think the capital i is an L because the modern day capital i's don't have the extended strikes on the top and bottom in typing).

Bump and meow. My name is easy to mispronounce, so when I order a coffee and ask for my name I just say something easier.

People who can speak spanish well can say it well, but English talker did not , they only did it well if they had hear the name , N"erea"

My last name is french but I live in the dutch part of my country, hilarity ensues! Well not really, I tend to automatically spell my last name instead of saying it.

People always think that my name is my surname ....

My name is Αλέξανδρος (pronounced as Alexandros - written as Alexander in english). No, nobody mispronounces my name and I doubt that there's even one greek name that a local would mispronounce. Greek names aren't hard to pronounce if you speak Greek. :P And Alexander is a known and easy name, so even foreigners wouldn't mispronounce that.

My own name, Brianna. There are several ways to say it and even worse most of the time I just get called things like Brianne, Brittany, Brenda.

My name pronounces like amen. But instead of saying "men" you say "main" in a fast pace.

I don't know how but people manage to butcher the name Sean ,and pronounce it See-n

never had issues with people and my name.
