My daughter once had a girl from Indonesia in her class at school whose last name as given on the class list was Shithead.

When she read out the names to check attendance on the first day, she paused before pronouncing it, then asked the girl how it was pronounced.

It turns out that it is a common name, pronounced Shi-theed. An awkward moment was avoided.

Well, if that was my name, I’d find a way to pronounce it that way also.
