Darkness blinds us all

my birth name is dawid

but there is no way i am telling people that here bc 99.9% of them would pronounce it wrongly and using the english w makes my name sound weird af

ah ok, what do you use instead?

david

its pronounced the same exact way as dawid, but at least then people get it right lol

ok, well whatever works I guess xD

Maybe the Americans never heard your name pronounced correctly? confused
Either that or they made no effort to pronounce it right even after hearing it.

In real life people take one look at my name, look at me and add an -ESHA. No effort.

Oh, what is it?

It's just Kaelyn, but somehow they always slip that T in there
or I get called Kayla
one time it was "Gaylyn" emotion_facepalm

I like that name, plus I knew someone named Kaelyn.
Gaylyn? Dam, it's not even that hard to pronounce.

Its a bittersweet blessing, I'm glad people don't look at me weird when I tell them my name, but I still need to spell it out. At least they kind of remember it!
