Is your name fairly simple for people to read/pronounce right the first time they try, or do you have to correct them on how to say/spell it?

No problem to say but nobody can ever get it spelled right. It's a unisex name so if it's a boy's spelling it has a Y in it but for girls it's I, but everybody uses the boy's spelling.

The only thing people repetitiously ask about is if my name ends with with a 'c' or a 'k.'

All the time. My first name is not common at all, but gets confused constantly with another, more common name.

Some people get it right on the first try, but I usually wind up correcting them. My surname is very common so you'd have to be a complete dumbass to not get that right on the first try.

Lord, yes. First and last. My parents just had to experiment with me, my sister has a MUCH more common and uncomplicated to pronounce first name.

Generally speaking I always spell my name phonetically so others can write it correctly or have a better idea how to pronounce it.
You have a great day.

My first name is pretty simple: Mandy. And nobody really gets that wrong. But it's my last name that nobody can get. It's a long, Dago name which apparently no non-Italian can ever get right and that always irritates me because I think "Duh, can't you read, you stupid fool?"

I never had a problem with her name. I've always pronounced it "Nay-yell". Am I correct Nhai?
