>>My simple name not only gets mispronounced all the time (and not only here in Canada but also in my home country, Argentina) but also misspelled a lot, normally as Ranae here in Canada, and Ramea in Argentina, and mine is only 5 letters long!

>About the name, you just had to have an H in it, eh? The most misused and abused character in the alphabet. The percentage of cases when it's pronounced directly (as in "he") is probably in single digits. Maybe spellt as "Jugo" would be less ambiguous in Arhentina? But then you'd have more trouble in Canadah and Americah.

By chance, or so they claimed, my parents named my elder brothers Héctor and Horacio, so when my sister was born, they "realized" that both started with an 'H' so they named her Helena and of course they kept going with me, so you would probably choke if meet my family! :)

But you are right, do not know in other languages, but in Spanish the H is most of the time silent so, what's the point?
