Today, like every day since my birth, my name is Spreme. Yeah, you probably have trouble pronouncing it correctly too. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
My name is…
Today, I've gotten so used to people mispronouncing my last name, even after I correct them a gazillion times, I've lost the motivation to correct anyone on it anymore. At this point I'd probably faint from shock if someone who isn't related to me successfully pronounced it correctly. FML
Confused
Today, after 26 years of confusion with my parents pronouncing it different ways, and in my mom's case, multiple ways, having to clear up how it's spelled every time I meet someone, I asked my mom how to pronounce my name. She got mad and then pronounced it three different ways while explaining. FML
Teambuilding
Today, I was so nervous introducing myself to my new team, I actually mispronounced my own name, badly, and now that’s how everyone refers to me, but again, I’m too nervous to correct anyone. It’s been a week already, so correcting them now would be extra weird. FML
Birth certificate
Today, I found out I've been misspelling my middle name for 25 years. FML
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
The more you know
Today, I learned that I've been saying a word wrong my whole life and all my friends have been too polite to correct me, when I found out that "Segue" and "Segway" are pronounced the same. FML
Exhaustion
Today, during a phone call, I broke down in tears because I was asked to spell my last name. It’s sixteen letters long and hyphenated, and I always end up having to spell it twice because they never get it right the first time. I’m tired. FML
YouTubers take note
Today, I have learned a lot of "big" words from reading so much, but can actually only pronounce about half of them correctly. FML
Brain freeze
Today, at the ripe old age of 24, I briefly forgot my own name. FML
I'm a meme
Today, as always, my name is Karen. FML

Now what's really awkward is a chubby white kid having the name Lebron.

There's a difference in being "unique" and having parents with I-Can't-Name-Children-For-Shit Syndrome.
brt3420 13
Could be worse. I know a lot of Mexican families and I know a few Harry dicks, and I also know a girl named anita dick. Parents must hate their kids to do that.

SUPREME SPERM!
evilplatypus 39
My mother had a student named Yuri...which would be fine if it were an eastern European male. Nope, white girl (who pronounced it "Judy")
MagicallyFat 12
And you never know there might be a reason your parents named you that. Might be a special place or person. Ask them about it. My name is Ammar and that was the name of the mosque my parents were married at.

Hey, it's not that bad. My name is Zeiva. Its pronounced zay-va, but everyone says it zeeva, thanks to NCIS. Doesn't help that I look kinda like her, too..
Feklfekl2222 32
Spreme is third person Italian for to squeeze or to press. It could be a lot worse though my names Freya (not too bad but I have had people spell it therieyja) and I know someone whose parents didn't think before calling him Richard head

My name's Nailah, pronounced ny-EE-luh. I've been called nail-uh, ny-luh, nala, and even Nautica. -___- But you gotta love unique names. There's almost always some kind of cool story behind them, right?
FarSide 23
TRUE, in Tampa Florida, and many, many people know him. The guy's name is Richard Ake (ache). Why in the hell do parents do this?
mrs_bruno_mars 14
99, it might not be "relevant," but it's spelled Ziva. It's been bothering me.
raiganator 10
My mom named me Raigan. Doesn't seem like that difficult of a name right? Pronounced just like Ronald Reagan. But nope. I've been called Ree-gan, Megan (by my own grandmother), and the most far-off...Rhonda. -___-
ariannaa_fml 17
my seventh grade science teacher was named Richard Long. It also didn't help that he was fairly short and bald. lol
rawrautumnz 7
My name's Autumn. People spell it Autum, or pronounced Awh-tumm-nuhh. It pisses me off, sometimes called January, Amber, Winter, etc. And sometimes they do it on purpose. I mean, Holy CRAP. It's so annoying. Atleast my mom chose that over Umbrella. (I would like that one, though.)
blackheart24 10
When I read it the first time I thought it said Supreme.

moviegirl6 5
I feel your pain. My name is Aylin. It's pronounced like Eileen though. But everyone always says it like A-lun or A-lin or Allan. And because of the spelling, people have given me the nickname Alien. One friend even turned Alien into Aliena so now I have a completely new name along with my own. It can get irritating but now I just go with it. :)
LiveLaughLaugh 9
Yeah, my sister's name is Regan. (RAY-gan) she often gets confused as "Reegan." My name is Kaylin, often confused as Kaitlyn. Spreme, however, is a pretty badass name :)
PhoenixMuffin 12
36, my name is Phoenix, and no one has ever called me penis.
conniejoy529 10
no way, how is that possibly Judy. but i guess if that was my name i'd probably pretend it was something else too.
rofflewaffle 9
Since we're all sharing... You wouldn't think Katharine would be too difficult, but you'd be surprised. I've heard Kathleen, Kath-Renée, Katalina, Kat-harang... And no one has ever spelled it right. Everyone puts Katherine. It's even on my paychecks. -_-
iliketurdles 7
Yeah, this whole threads has just been a bunch of mostly difficult names to pronounce, I feel as though I should join in, so here goes nothing: My names iliketurrdles, pronounced I-like-turrtles. True story.

My name's Madison. When people call me out in a crowd, about 7 other girls (and occasionally a guy) turns to who said it. Last year I had my locker next to a quite popular Madi. Someone would say Madi and I would react only to get, "Oh... Not you." On average I have about 1-3 other Madi's in all of my classes.

My names Hallie, with a short a, and I always get "hayley." it makes me feel even worse because I changed my name, so it's kinda my fault, but it gets sooo annoying.

DKjazz 20
My name is Danny. It's SO common. A popular girl in ,my grade was named Dani, and every time girls called her name I'd turn around and it'd be awkward. My guitar teacher is Danny. My bassist is Danny. TWO of my history teachers in high school were Danny. True, I once was in an English class where there were 5 Dannys. We'd always do group projects together, because we made up a quarter of the class. Grass is always greener, eh?

There's a difference between a unique name and a crappy name. My name is Mallory. Unique (I've only met a few others) but it's easy to pronounce. People usually spell it wrong, though. (Malerie or Malorie usually).

In actual fact it's pronounced 'Del-ee-see-a' and I love how unique it is. My first and last name are so common so I love having a bit of originality :D

Ray_of_midnight 23
OP's from France, and I thought they had laws there against giving your kid a weird name? At least, that's something that comes up in the U.S. when people here give their children an unfortunate name. "If this were France, or Germany, you wouldn't be allowed to name your kid that. They have laws."
Taylo12237 5
My last name is ware... My grandpa spend months trying to get my mother to name me china.
NinaKL 3
@133 indeed, there is a law against that and that is why I think that OP's talking about his last name, and not his surname as everyone think. Actually I'm pretty sure it's his last name. @107 "pénis" is not pronounced 'pay knee", the final "s" is pronounced like in "kiss". Also with the French pronunciation, French people will automatically think "Sperme" (and not supreme) or mispelled it. Awkward...
