A blessing and a curse

Today, like every day since I was born, my name is Yarenis, pronounced "ja-ra-nees". For some reason, everybody pronounces it "your anus". FML

Ouch OP! Guess your parents wouldn't think it would bother you whenever you hear someone go "Hey how's Yarenis?" Change your name if you want to!

I know what you're going through. My name is "Yeraneediot".

I guess I know how it feels, OP. My name is Afrah (pronounced ah-fruh), but everyone calls me Afro or Africa. I'm not black lmao

Well that's how English speakers would read it. How are they supposed to know that the Y should be a J? It would be easier to change it than to keep correcting people every time.

if you have a middle name that sounds better go by that

My name is Slader. Everyone spells it like Slater, Slayder, or slander. For some reason no one knows how to listen and everyone calls me Slander

I feel you bro. My name is Salman (Sul maan or mon like in pokemon) but everyone calls me Salmon (like the fish), or Fish.

Apparently your parents didn't think that one through very well. Embrace it! Or change it! You could go by a nick name.
