HelpRe: If you had a difficult-to-pronounce name...
in reply to a message by Theodora'sMommy
I'm Marjolijn and I live in an environment where people have never heard of my name before.
I appreciate any effort to get my name right. I only dislike people substituting my name for a similar one without asking, like calling me Marilyn instead of making any attempt to get my name right.
If someone really has trouble with it, I usually tell them they can call me Marjoram (or Marjolaine if they're French) which would be a translation of my name, which is different and totally fine by me.
