Yeah. Every time someone asks me, "but how do you really pronounce it", I do a big internal sigh and resign myself to the next 10 minutes being a useless pronunciation lesson.

And when they somehow come away satisfied that their wrong pronunciation works... ugh.

I will say though, I'm perfectly fine with people not being able to pronounce my name, and I do expect the same courtesy in return. I'll give it my best shot, but if it's not happening, it's just not happening.

Whatever the outcome, I'm just pleased that that particular conversation has come to an end.

It's hard to square this with all of the frustration you're expressing in your other comments.
