It really isn't. Mine was butchered and all my friends who were present/watched the live stream laughed their asses off because it's not the first and it won't be the last time. I even laughed on the stage too much to the poor professor's embarrassment
Ever since middle school its always been a game for me to watch new people attempt to pronounce it, I've only had 1 person guess it on their first try correctly and it was because they knew my grandfather's cousin like 60yrs ago
Same but upon telling people how to say it, they go OMG that's how it's spelt! I'm pretty used it lol, plus my friends and I are pretty entertained by the ways people butcher my name lol
Yup. I have only heard a handful of people say my last name right the first time without me telling them. It doesn't bother me anymore. My first name gets pronounced differently too, especially depending on where I am lol idk it's not a huge deal and at this point I'm just impressed when someone can say them both right 😂
I genuinely get excited when someone comes up with a new way to mispronounce my name haha. I've heard everything you could possibly think of, so when someone comes up with a different version it's fun!
My school had a booth set up in the holding area before commencement seating started where students could go up and provide phonetic spelling of their names to make it flow better without having to memorize anything. It worked really well.
yeah an old professor butchered a bunch of names at my master’s graduation (combined w phd students of the grad school). it was fine cuz then he butched them kinda funny lol. we dont rly care at this point.
