    RH - i have one of those super dooper simple first names - but it's one that can be spelt about five different ways, and is also the shortened version of at least five others - so i am ALWAYS having to spell my name too. i think no matter what, people will always clarify spelling (or stuff it up if they don't) and you just get used to it. i had a long surname that had odd spelling, so got used to spelling that one out - married and took on a nice simple surname - and people still stuff it up - i get bridges or biggs - really - it's not that hard!

    What is your name?

    "My name is Welsh. It's a nice name (now - I hated it for a while at school when no-one could pronounce or spell it!). "
    Please let me know what your name is. We are in the process of choosing Welsh girls names and really like Tirion so far.
