You don't get a name much more easy than mine. Sweet!

[JDubb]

Success is all your to have I guess.

[Beckster]

I didn't think my name was that difficult, but plenty of people have screwed it up.

Yeah.
Hale. Seems easy enough. It sounds like the weather.
Telemarkerters always seemed to get ir wrong at least half the time.

[LeNeve]

I wouldn't think LeNeve would be hard to pronounce, but I'm always amazed by some people. Mostly salesmen. They will add letters that aren't even there.

Greg Behrent does a great comedy bit about his last name. Dead on. I totally relate. I can't even spell his name right.

I will dismiss someone as illiterate if they totally butcher my last name. If you can sound a word out you can get pretty close, so when I get a Lebean, or Lenervo dropped on me, I'm done.

If I'm unsure on pronouncing someones last name, I ask them.

I don't know how JDubb's last name is pronounced properly.

I also like unique last names. Usually I like the people with them too.

[LeNeve]

Chris Haley, do you need insurance?

[LeNeve]

Is the article talking first names or last names?

I agree on hard to pronounce, or weird first names. Or normal first names spelled wrong. Stupid parents naming kids weird shit.

Hence why I will never achieve greatness... I am German so the "ei" in my last name is pronounced "i". It is mispronounced all the time.

[Beckster]

My last name is one syllable and the name of a damn bird. People misspell it and mispronounce it all of the time. It's not a difficult name at all.

Let's hope so in my job search. Driving 105 miles a day blows.
