    No one ever pronounces my last name correctly. And my first name, Sharon, is often misspelled as "Sharron".

    All the time!!! My name is Donella and no one can ever get my name right it's pronounced like DAWN EL AH lol. I've been called so many different names that's why I go by Nellie, it's been a nickname for a long time.

    My name is Kristine (chris-teen), and people call me Kristen, Krista, Kristina, etc. all of the frickin time. I think the K instead of the "Ch" really throws them for a loop or something. Don't get me started on my last name... :)

    My last name is your typical phonetic polish last name. It LOOKS scary, but is so easy to pronounce. Oh and my future married last name is greek....not phonetic! That's gonna be fun.

    People always ask me if they are supposed to pronounce Hanna with an ah or an aa for the first a. I really don't care, but I pronouce it with the hard aa and they usually immediately start using the wrong one after I tell them that :P And nobody wants to spell Hanna without the damn 2nd h!

    My first name, no. My last name gets completely mangled. And when someone actually pronounces it correctly (with the proper Spanish pronunciation and all), it completely surprises me.
