I have an anglicized celtic last name, that ought to be a slam dunk for anglosaxons to pronounce. They get it wrong most of the time.
These people need a life, or barring that, a good, harmless hobby.

Mine too.....I have often in the back of my mind thought it was an intentional dis but but always shrug it off as being part of life get used to it.
Others should do the same.
“These people need a life, or barring that, a good, harmless hobby.”
Really? All they need is a “life” or a “hobby”? The evil forces pulling these puppet strings are meticulously setting up a system for Soviet style Gulags, with US as the “guests”. But I guess just a good old “hobby” would bring them right back to their senses......
I have a Celtic family name that even I mispronounce all the time (easier that way).
My real name is “Smith,” but it’s pronounced “Jones.”
Most people really mangle my name.
My preferred personal pronoun is “Supreme Galactic Ruler,” but I’m constantly offended when people don’t call me that.
my husband and I always have to spell his last name...its not long but has letters at the end that often get misinterpreted...
