Mispronounced names

[nat965]

Would you correct someone who pronounced your name wrong? is it rude?

Not rude at all. That being said if you are one of those pretentious people that intentionally spell a name like Airwreaka instead of Erica. You bring it on yourself

Sometimes people pronounce my surname wrong, and I find it very annoying, especially considering my surname really isn't difficult to say. I generally don't say anything, but roll my eyes to the moon and back when they aren't looking.

Lucas is a so overused name in Brazil that it never was a problem to me, really. My surname, though - Marques - is frequenly mispronounced as Mike, Michael, Marcos...

[Charlie]

I don't have any issues with people mispronouncing my name, as it's well known. My surname is common as well, so no issues there.

[Expling]

[Sho]

people say my name wrong all the time - they usually call me Sinead or "Show-nd". i don't get annoyed the first 1-2 times, i'll just politely correct them.

my name isn't difficult to say, it's just that we pronounce letters slightly differently and some people purposely say it wrong over and over again cos they find it funny and idgi??? just say it properly???

Occasionally people seem to miss out the R in my surname. Depending on who it is depends on whether or not I correct them.
