My husband is from Poland and his family can't pronounce my name, either--they call me Marina, and we are all clear. Funny how a name that sounds so easy to pronounce in your own language can trip the tongues of the rest of the world!

The thing is, once you learn the pronounciation of Polish letters it's becomes easy because they are always consistent.
