But, wherever you are, you will always be what you are!
You can't never change that ;)

>Besides Dimitry is not so bad as Vladimir I think. You should now how foreigners pronounce my name, it sounds like coon from cacoon. I hear Cohen and other.

I keep hearing mine not just mispronounced, but also find it misspelt as Dragon. Gave up on trying to correct people on it twenty years ago.

The petty revenge is that when they ask how do I pronounce my last name, I say "easily".

Besides, I'm not sure it's my last name. I may change my mind and have a different surname, future is long and one never knows.
