How do you say your name? (Voice Clips, too!)

[luvofallhorses]

Very rarely do people pronounce my name correctly. It's not that hard.

It is Angelique. It is pronounced as Anne-juh-leek. People used to call me Angel all the time and it would irritate the crap out of me now I really don't care. My last name and my maiden name get messed up all the time. My middle name is pretty normal, Noel.

I think you have a pretty name.

[cyber-sibes]

P-a-t
about as simple as it gets. People mess it up when I say my whole name over the phone - my last name starts with "St.", (Pat St.) they think I'm saying "Patsy"

"Crazy"--------------(Patsy Cline song!!!! )

[Roxyluvsme13]

It's Kath-Leen ( Irish ) but I am not red headed!!!!
Just a llttle on the lean side.

I always thought your name was Dorothy, .

[BitsyNaceyDog]

My name is Kari (care-ee). Usually people pronounce it right.
I do some times get car-ee.
When I was in school I on occasion was called Carl by substitute teachers because they thought the i at the end of my name was an l, they read "Karl" instead or "Kari".

Mine isn't mis-pronounced very often . In English it's pronounced Mich-elle.

In french it's more of a mee-shelle.

Oh, I get it. I thought you were making a joke.

I saw the ( Pat St. ) and thought you mant St. Patricks. Sorry.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Ooh, yeah! I'll edit the title, everybody speak your name!

How?

[Argranade]

Chri-sti-na

Pretty easy.

[cmayer31]

Mine is easy enough, Craig. Pronounced just like it is spelled. Whenever someome takes my name for a reservation or something I have to say "Craig, with a C, not Greg." People also spell it Kreg a lot and I have no clue where that comes from.

The one that use to drive me bonkers is my last name: Mayer pronounced May-or, not My-er. Now I just respond to either because it happens all the time. Even close friends still say Meyer. I blame Oscar Mayer Weiner for the entire mispronunciation. And yes, school was a blast; I know every version of the Oscar Meyer songs.

LOL! I just noticed you are Canadian - my grandparents were French-Canadian, the "St." is part of a French name (I'll pm it to you)
BTW, I love your name, it's beautiful!

[joanofark]

Sarah. I'm always called Sair-uh or Say-ruh. Either one is fine.

Well she covered my name, I'm Sarah too. I hate how it's so popular!!

[Flatcoatluver]

Mine is said how it's spelled. Breanne, Bree-anne.
People constantly make it seem like a hard work. Bree-anna is mostly what they call me. It doesn't drive me crazy. But when I do correct them, and they still call me Bree-anna that kind of gets on my nerves. If they have such a problem saying it, I just tell them to call me Bre. Otherwise, through all of that pain, I love my name because it's not too common.
