If your name was difficult to pronouce for people, would you introduce yourself using a nickname or your middle name?

Or, repeat yourself until they say it correctly

I usually say my name, and when it is mispronounced back to me, I agree with whatever they thought it was.

@itsok Maybe I should start that. Then when they call me by the mispronounced name to get my attention, I won't answer

When I am with someone I know, and they hear someone else mispronounce my name, they will correct the person. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Yep, I just go with my nickname and if I accidentally say my real name and they try to pronounce it, I’m just like yeah that’s it...

@NewBeginnings7790 I get all kind of ridiculous stuff. I'm just gonna start agreeing with folks.

I just repeat myself but maybe I should go by a different name

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@SW-User I've been going by a different name but not anymore. I've also considered changing my name. But why should I? It's MY name. It was given to ME. People need to learn to listen and learn to read.

I’d keep repeating, and correcting.

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@SpaceCreature is your name difficult for people?

SpaceCreature · 26-30, F

@iamnikki kinda yeah.

It amuses me when it is not spoken as is meant to be and I make no efforts to correct or change anything.
