HelpRe: Thoughts on a nickname for my still-regretful name choice....
in reply to a message by anxiolytics
My name is Rachael, pronounced like Rachel. There are a lot of people who pronounce it Rochelle, but I simply correct them. It's one of those things a lot of people have to live with, and it's really not a big deal. It used to annoy me when I was a kid, but I got used to it, and now it just rolls off my back.

Hi-My name is Caroline-always got mispronounced as Carolyn, but like you it bothered me a lot as a child, and as an adult I have gotten used to it-I do still correct people though and didn't want to wish that on my kids, especially giving her a name whose correction would be far more difficult due to its subtlety-but C'est la Vie with most names at least the more unusual ones, towards which I gravitate.
