QotD: Repeat After Me...
How have people mispronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound?
Submitted by Lorie.
My first name has never really been pronounced wrong, but it's hard to hear and remember. I get called Lauren, Laurel, and Laurie quite often.
As for the spelling, I get "Lora" an awful lot. And just when I get lazy and forget to spell my first name out on the phone, sure as shootin that person will spell it wrong. Some people have difficulty typing it and I will see "Luara" on occasion.
My grandmother says "Lah-rah", but most everybody does the good ol "Lore-uh".
I can't even go into my last name... it's 9 letters and German. Very few people pronounce it correctly.
