"No. People just stopped sounding out their kid's name the way it's spelled." I know someone whose name is spelled Anna. Prounounced "Awna."

“I do the same thing at Starbucks.” Okay well you likely paid for the drink before receiving it so if you didn’t grab it that was a waste of money on your end. BYE 👋🏻

Felicity Grace👑 :
My name is pronounced sometimes as “velocity” or “Felicia” when it’s Felicity. And that’s ok! It’s an uncommon old name, not everyone knows it. That’s why I always give my middle name🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️

As someone with a last name that is CONSTANTLY mispronouced, just laigh and politely correct people. It doesn't need to be a whole thing.

My first name is mispronounced 99.9% of the time. I can’t imagine making my life even harder to make a point!

😂 omg it's the same with a girl I know! First things first, we're Spanish so pronunciation is key. This girl, she's Martha and her parents and her pronounce it the English way (mar-thuh), but the vast majority of the people pronounce it like the Spanish way for Marta (MAHR-tah). When she gives her name for situations like this, she won't react until we say "hey, I think they're calling you" and she walks up to the stand with a nasty face while saying "Well, they didn't call MARTHA (mar-thuh) so I wouldn't know if they're talking to me".

As an elementary teacher who teaches phonics for a freaking living, I can confidently say, names FREQUENTLY do not follow phonetic rules. Not to mention that English has as many exceptions to rules as rules.

My name is like the final boss of mispronounced names😂 I listen for anyone struggling to pronounce a name that starts with an S and it's usually me lmao. There has been one singular time where someone pronounced it correctly on the first try and I was flabbergasted😂😂
