When people can't pronounce your name right...

[Transmogrified Tiger]

My name is pretty unique, and it's constantly misspelled. The thing is, I've never, ever, seen it spelled the way almost everyone misspells it. It's not like being named Katherine and seeing it spelled Kathryn, it's like being named Katherine and seeing it spelled Katherinh.

No one can ever pronounce my name right. EVER!

My last name's also misspelled constantly, and most of the time in the exact same way -- which to my knowledge isn't anyone on this planet's last name. The weird thing is that it's two syllables and is completely phonetic. It's got to be harder to come up with the crazy spellings and pronunciations than just getting it right, but no one ever does.

I wonder how much trouble Brett Favre had before he got famous.

IIRC it was mispronounced on draft day.

I work with a Favre who pronounces it fay*ver. Brett's pronunciation is much much closer to the French.
