Why can't anybody pronounce my name right?

[ermitonto]

My name is Levi. That's leave-eye, like the jeans. My name is not Levee. It is not Leave-ee. All right, world? Somebody get it right already. I've almost given up trying to correct people.

Anybody else have this problem?

Yeh, when teachers at college, or whoever ask me my name i say "Josh" and most think i say "Jazz, John or Jack" No one ever hears me say "Josh", and they always ask again, no idea why no one can understand me when i say it.

I find it funny though, like a tutor at college on the first day asked for my name and i said "Josh" and he said "Jazz? That's an unusual name" and i was like "No i said Josh".... "John, did you say?" and then someone else in the class shouted "It's Josh!" haha

My friend Gerry gets called Jerry all the time! Seriously I've never heard anybody pronounce his name right their first time. Like when we would get attendance taken he was always called Jerry. After so long he didn't even correct people anymore it was funny.

Blame it all on Avril Lavigne for becoming famous.

You'd be surprised at how many people mispronounce 'Alan'.

Especially in England... You'd figure they'd have a grasp of their own language!

Your parents should've made your whole life easier and named you "Al", Chosh.
