My wife has a double barreled first name and it's amazing how few people know what a "hyphen" is when she tries to spell it out.

My wife reverted to her maiden name because a hyphen appeared too difficult for people.
I must admit I find it equal parts amusing and irritating when I have to phonetically spell one of the most common names in English speaking countries to someone called Nahasapeemapetilon.

I am going to start a petition to the NZRU that the ABs play every week. When they don't this place goes to shit.
Having said that no one gets my name right - spelt / spelled or pronounced.

On to the Australian substitute Smith, i hope i pronounced that correctly...

People used to mispronounce my names all the time while growing up. I corrected them and then moved on with the rest of my life.
My boys have Nordic names that are often mispronounced. Again, I correct them and move on to more important matters. Also happened to my Norwegian wife on countless occasions. Yet, miraculously she came through it all unscathed.

Easier for you than the bloke I once worked with - he was called Dipthik Shidpour (and no, I'm not making that up)

I remember this guy having a sensational game against Australia a few years ago, and then disappearing from the scene. He has been recalled for the AB test.
I hope he goes well, sounds like he's had an awful last few years.
