Yeah. Most English speakers aren't as verbally excellent or sometimes even aware of the sounds in my name :v
It amuses me sometimes XD

@SW-User I wonder if German speakers would have an easier time with it. 🤔 English doesn't really have the "Ah" sound like in that name. (If I've got it right, anyway)

@SW-User Oh dear. They tried.

SW-User

@DDonde yep. The "kh" or خ sound is in German, though :3

@HijabaDabbaDoo it hurt to try ;_;
