Re: Do people mispronounce your name?

People CAN NOT figure out how to say my maiden name. It drove me crazy growing up!!!

It also has a very funny German translation that people get a kick out of!

Oh yes, I forgot to mention my maiden name. That was royally butchered. It was Squire. I got Square, Swire, SQUIRREL (come on now!), Squeer. I'm glad my new last name is a lot easier!

I get Christian, Krystal, Kristine

When it comes to last name, my maiden name would get butchered. My married name gets some attention but it is easier to spell!

actually, my ex bf's brother called my Krystal for 7 years!!

Re: Do people mispronounce your name?

My first name never, but both my maiden and my married last name get mispronounced. My maiden name used to get butchered and I thought that would stop when I got married. My married name is soooo much eaisier.
