Why can't anybody pronounce my name right?

I read your name right man. The same thing happends with me but its an honest mistake everyone makes: The name is Jaqueline not jacqueline, my name needs to be spoken (i almost wrote smokin lol) with a french accent. Thats the truth.

No matter what someone thinks my name is, I agree. Why argue? As long as they know who I am.

Hey Jacque-leen. Nice to meet you. I'm Chris and lost my virginity to a Jacqueline. I've been sober (off beer) for nine-hours, or after I fell asleep because I was enraged at the balls-and-strikes called during last night's Yankee game.

My name is Cerise, hardly anyone can prounounce it right! Or they keep changing it to Shanice or Cherise, aaaargh! Its Se-reese :D

What's Cerise, Latin for cherish? Hy, Cerise, I'm Sir Chris.

Hey Sir Chris :D Nah, its french for cherry and its a colour! Cerise pink (also my fav colour)

My last name is the same as a known first name with an extra "i", so everybody uses the "common" (but wrong) name.. sometimes they even mix it up, with using this as my first name

and hardly anybody pronounces it right either, but well, i don't care about this anymore..

I call others, that make this "fault" by different names on purpose as well.
"Hi John!" "but my name's Jack" "yeah, mine name's different as well, but who cares?" ;)

My name is Christopher, which means "Christ's bearer". Anyone named Chris who isn't a Christian was born to be a hypocrite. And for a long time, the only French phrase I knew was, "Plus ca change, Plus ce la meme chose."
