Reply With QuoteTrouble with it too though is if you are a child and an adult pronounces your name wrong, you run the risk of coming across as either a smart-arse or just plain rude when you correct an adult kwim?

I quizzed my Mum with the La-a one this morning, she didn't guess. And was horrified when I told her what it was!
I still remember the birth announcement in the paper for little 'Anfernee'. To me, that kind of spelling gives the child a disadvantage in life from the start. As much as we don't like to admit it, we form opinions (often not fairly based) on first impressions. For a child with a ridiculously spelled name, often the first impression is not a good one.

Yep, Sarah, they're all work-related...
Just remember the one called "Tallulah does the Hula in Hawaii" who was (thankfully) taken off her parents in New Zealand...

You could do Qwerty then it would be easy to spell on the keyboard!!
