I have a unique name and it is often mis-pronounced as something similar and spelt in the more typical way but i don't really care. I've had this happen all my life and either ignore that they have said/spelt it wrong or i correct them but mostly i just refer to myself by using the shortened version of my name, much easier for everyone else.
All the time and no my name isn't Zendrya. I just correct them and move on. It only becomes annoying when they keep making the mistake after I've corrected them a number of times.
They mispronounce my last name, which is dumb because it's said exactly how it's spelled. But because it's long and Polish they think it's supposed to be fancy I guess.
ALL THE FREAKING TIME...
It got way better after 9/11
my last name is Giuliani
but for some reason people like to put an O at the end
and many other ways of killing it.
and then I have to get the "are you related to the mayor of NY?"
I just tell them "thankfully no." since the guy is a major POS.
My surname has raised many eyebrows, nobody has ever pronounced it right. Say for one person.

All the time. How do you mispronounce a 3 letter name.
People mispronounce my first name all the time. I usually just go with whatever they call me because I'm too lazy to correct them.
My name is Jeremy. There is only two people who pronounce it correctly, my mom and my buddy ex. Everyone pronounces it "germy" I don't even bother correcting people anymore lol

Yeah, it happens pretty regularly. I occasionally correct them but if I've tried several times I just live with it.
I'm Dutch, married to a Brit. She now has my surname. She can't pronounce her own surname. I think it's funny.
Yes they do. I don't correct them because they can't pronounce ñ anyway.
It depends, but I usually don't unless they ask because I don't really care. Though pretty much everyone can pronounce my name correctly.
