Name pronunciation is fun. Except when people get weird things from relatively simple names.
I mean, there is a "d" in my name. It's not "Brennan". I once got a prescription with the phonetic pronunciation of my name on the bottle. "Brindin". O_o
God, I just kind of respond to anything that starts with a D and mangles from there. And spelling? Impossible for most. Usually anyone who hears my name first can never spell it, and anyone who sees my name first, can't pronounce it.

DEER-DREE
DEAD-RAH
DEE-DARA
DEER-DRAH
DIED-RAH
DIED-REE
Ugh... and those are the common ones. Some people just slur it beyond recognition, as if that will fool me into thinking they aren't saying it wrong.
