Dragan;

You would think that anyone could pronounce my last name, Whiteley (White lee). However, from Kindergarten through six years of college, only one teacher pronounced it correctly, and she had a Ph.D. in English! Do not ask me why this occurred but it did. On the Polish side of my family my grand aunt’s husband changed the name from Rosynski to Ross - that worked for them. My grandmothers last name was Pieotrovski - that could not be pronounced either.

I have not had an employer who could pronounce my name correctly for the first few months. Perhaps we should all be called by the same name to be sure of correct spelling and pronunciation! Perhaps he and she would do? I would hate to tax anyones abilities!
