About names...
They're funny things, aren't they? It is interesting how many times the pronunciation has very little to do with the phonetic appearance of the name.
I swear you can take the name "Bob" and someone will insist that his name has a long "O" sound, and it's pronounced "Bobe" (rhymes with robe).
Of course with the United States of America being the melting pot it is, we have the confusion added by a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. Do you want to change the spelling of your name so it gets pronounced correctly? Accept the mispronunciation? Or fight it your whole life?
We knew a family who named their daughter "Angelica," which most people would pronounce the "G" to have a "J" sound, like in the word "angel." Like "Anjelica." But it was an "H" sound, so it was "An-helical." Okay, just don't be surprised or upset when people pronounce it the way 99.9% of the other Angelicas pronounce their name.
To take it a step further, the mom also insisted you say it with a particular accent! Say what??? I don't insist people put on a Norwegian accent when saying my name. Should I imitate The Godfather when I say "Antonio"? Can you picture that happening in a conference room during a business meeting, putting on a different accent each time you say someone's name? That's just silly. (Hmm... could make for a funny skit.)
