Hajime, though I go by Haj most of the time. For a span of 3 months or so, I was 'Dude' to few people (they couldn't remember nor pronounce my name).

it was extremely frustrating at first day of school each year when the teacher is taking a roll call, and pause for an uncomfortably long time, trying to decide how to pronounce my last name. worse is when everybody else in class hears the mispronunciation and makes fun of it... eh, one gets used to it. :/

anyway, my full name: Wai Bong Ng.
told you guys i'm not a pothead, "Bong" really is my middle name.

I am surprised that there haven't already been several posts with my same first name:

Ryan

I was once in a class where there were 4 of the 20 students named Ryan... and one was a girl. Pretty odd to... I am Ryan Fall, she was Ryan Ball. That caused a lot of confusion.

Better yet, lets add meanings of peoples first names to this thread if people know it... mine means "little king", and you might call me that over my RV and Mobile home park that I run! (other than the "little" part....)

William, after my father, who was named . . .

Three generations, and all it netted me was a Roman numeral - III. An improvident breed.

thanh. in english it's supposingly pronounced like "tang" the juice. people call me "tangster", "tangarang", "tangmaster". its friggin annoying as hell.

whenever american people call my name they always get it wrong. everyone litterally say my name differently, and i have to get use to response to all of them.

and the last name is nguyen. people misspell my name like crazy, to something i dont even recognize.

My real name is Welly Wu. I don't see a real need to create alter egos on line.

yeah... i get those too, especially junk mail. you wouldn't believe what kind of contraptions they come up with. how are they supposed to sell me something if they didn't even have the decency to get my name right?

my last name is Mejia (pronounced Ma-Hee-Ya, it's Mexican), which is also almost always pronounced wrong by everyone... Whenever we get a phone call "hello, is mr. me-jah there?" we know it's a telemarketer... but getting phone calls in spanish is always fun
