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!

Get use to it or change your name. No one likes a whiner.

I know what you mean. I have a definitely male name (according to its meaning) that has only just recently become a popular name for females. Been called Ms. to my face. Don't personally know many women with a braid-able goatee and a shaved head, but I guess there's always a first time for everything.

Brush it off. I grew up with the name Dick

The reason everybody pronounced it that way, is the fact that that's how it's pronounced! Either change your name, or deal with it
