Today, like every day since my birth, my name is Spreme. Yeah, you probably have trouble pronouncing it correctly too. FML

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

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

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

Today, I have learned a lot of "big" words from reading so much, but can actually only pronounce about half of them correctly. FML

At least you have a cool name. :) Well, my name is Yoeen and pronounced as Yow-Yen. They couldn't read it right until I say the correct pronunciation. ^_^

I can't believe how many people manage to mispronounce my name, and it's a relatively common name too

I have a kid in my homeroom who's name is Lovedeep. I actually think your name is cool and catchy. :)

Whenever I tell people my name is Fawn they ask, "Oh, like Mr Tumnus from Narnia?" No that's a Faun! And I get called Fern and Fran all the time, is my name really that difficult to remember?
