Can your significant other pronounce your name right?

I'd have to say...yes, but he adds some english flair to it The spanish R is tough to get right for english speakers

Saludos,

Carolina -> pronounced "Carolena"

I'm still interested in hearing why the OP is known as "Uncle" to his SO. Kinda kinky... and would also like to know if the avatar is an actual photo of the OP. I'll feel pretty horrible laughing about it if it is. But it just reminds me of a Sly Stallone mugshot.

Psssst... my real name ain't uncle Wally.

As for the avatar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut

Shhhh- don't tell anybody

He does now after I beat him round the head a few times (Kidding)

He used to pronounce it Tarsha. He now says it as it is supposed to be said. Tasha.

Now to educate the rest of Maryland

Nothing really hard about pronouncing Vikki. Some people see how it's spelled and ask how it's pronounced....

Before I was married, no one ever could say my last name except other Hispanic people. Four letters! D I A Z! As in buenos dias!

With my first husband, no one could pronounce that name either, no matter how many times I said it. Once again four letters! G I M A! Not even other Romanians. Shiesh! GEEE- MAH!

Other than knowing right away it's a telemarketer or bill collector calling the house, I am so glad to have gotten re-married to someone with a straightforward and easily pronounceable last name. This time there's five letters though

Nobody can pronounce my name right. In fact, my family is currently in an uproar because our cousin is running for office and his ad is based on how people are learning to pronounce the name due to all the "good work" he's been doing, and HE pronounces it wrong in the ad! He has caved and gives the most common mispronunciation. Oh well.

No problems on either side - it will be interesting though once I change my last name to my husband's since it's not a common name here, though it's very common over there.

My husband pronounces my name Cah-la, it's Carla, so he just calls me sugar...

[Queen Jenn 0]

He says it just fine - I love the way it sounds with his accent.

However, when we first met, I was totally saying his name wrong because I had never heard it-only seen it on the screen. I still can't pronounce it the way a Nigerian would, but I do ok.

Linds is from Canada and I have a very basic name (the cajuns are on my mom's side), so I voted Richard Simmons.

He doesn't have any problems with my name.....its everyone else! I am getting use to being called the numerous variations they come up with. I have gone through the whole of driving school being called a different name LOL....that reminds me.....i'll have to tell them my real name tonight so they don't write it wrong on my certificate! I guess they just don't understand my accent. It does make me chuckle!

[athena_ny 1]

He can, but choose not to most of the time. He says it like they say it in Spanish, and I like it better, so we're okay.

[JeroenAndMichelle 28]

She can (after lots of trying) but the rest of her family and friends have some problems with it tho lol.

'Jeroen'

I think if you don't know Dutch, it might be pretty hard to pronounce this right (it's a bit pronounced like 'jah-roon' but diff tho lol)

[R de la R 2]

No, he has some trouble with the pronunciation

[bora bora 1]

When my husband says my name he's trying to be funny - and last night he said it to make me laugh, but I didn't even recognize it. But I know when I hear "amor" that he's calling me....
