It is kinda funny and annoying depending on the circumstance...its funny when you have a teacher who calls everyone by their last last name and then goes..Mr. Bru..bro..bro...Jacob.

the epic funny XD teachers fail in my book go Mr. Haruishino!:XP

I love my name. Christina Estrella. My mom meant for it to translate to "gifted star" but she effed up the spelling on my first name for that. But either way, it's a pretty sweet name. My last name is mispronounced all the time. I usually have to break it down into pieces for people. I wasn't named after anyone; my mom just like it.

Btw, Haruishino, if I'm pronouncing your last name right (which is unlikely because I managed to say Bowie wrong sometimes :gonk: ) I love it. XD

My name is Brianna Sevan Rhodes.
My last name is pronounced like "roads."
Since they only show the middle initial, many substitutes have asked,
"Is Brianna S'Rhodes here?"
People have mis-pronounced my first/last name as follows:
Breeanna (sound it out!) Brianne ; Bryahnna..
Rose ; Rhods ; Rows ; Rhode..
It's not that hard, people!
BREE-AH-NAH.
It's a goddamned name.

My first name is Joy and my middle name is Helene. I’m perfectly content with both.. I even love them now that I’m older. When I was little I would be picked on so much over my first name.

People mispronounce my name all the time and it's so simple. My first name is Dina, and 9 times out of 10 the person makes it Diana or Dinah. Then, if I feel like correcting them (usually I don't to make life a lot less painful) I get something from the person like "oh, it COMES from Dinah (or) Diana," like I'm the one making the error about my own name. And since my name is short for Kostadina (like Constantine, it means constant/steadfast in Latin) it's not even true.

People never pronounce my last name right, and it's six letters long, two syllables, spelled phonetically. ._. Sad really. I

But I like my names. =D

I love your name!

My name is Nissa, pronounced like Lisa. XD Nissa Dawn, and I love mine. Nissa means a friendly elf or brownie, and Dawn means the coming of the sun. I think it suits me well. Plus it's odd enough that I can use it darn near everywhere online and not worry about it being taken. :P

I'm Meagan. I was named after a cat. My name's pretty generic, and people are constantly spelling it wrong, and saying a variation. I don't like or dislike my name in general.

My name's Lois. It's incredibly old, like Martha or Eunice. On the bright side my friends say it'll make my college app look better because 'Lois' somehow sounds smart...

My name is Abigail, but I make everyone call me Malka.
When I'm older and have the money for it I want to change my name to Malka Rose.

xDDD~
