Awesome :D
yeah my last name is even worse, completely impossible to pronounce in english. Would appear I wasn't destined for your country
Been working with a poor woman called Naja, pronounced Naya. I don't think anyone's ever gotten it right.
Don't worry, don't think most of us Brits are destined to live in our country
Reminds me my dealer's lass has just had a kid, and he wanted to call her something from his home country. Went round to see the kid when I got home and his missus remarked that as soon as it was on the birth certificate, she was going to go get the name tattooed on her. I figured because she had her other kid's names and I'm like 'aww that's nice' and she goes 'only so I don't look like an idiot when people ask me how to pronounce it' haha. Dealer came in while we were chatting, he told us the name he'd chosen, chatted, and left, and she goes to me 'what the fuck did he say it was?!'. He's African and she's from Iran or something like that so those kids have some bizarre names between em.
Forgot how much I fucking stim ramble sorry
edit: feel free, swampy
I feel your pain. I can introduce myself in a "Hi, I'm Swampdragon!" way, and get "Nice to meet you, Swa." Complete strangers shorten my name automatically. Drives me crazy.
Aye haha it's a fucker isn't it? I've taken to introducing myself as Olivia, because otherwise people think it's Holly and I'm fairly shy so would end up spending my entire life answering to Holly, and then say I prefer Oli, and then I get stuff like Livvy (damn you old PE teacher) and Liv, from a guild mate (shut up) but I like that one.
