Thanks, I have the same problem - I'm an Eastern European living in the UK, must've heard my name pronounced correctly (just from someone seeing it written down) maybe 3 times in 9 years. But I actively avoid telling people the correct pronunciation because it's not in anyone's interest (unless they're a close friend, I guess). I never understood why someone would selfishly expect a stranger to pronounce their name correctly if your name is difficult/not intuitive. There are billions of people out there whose names are so difficult to get right, isn't it more important for us to spend that mental energy being nice to each other in a practical way instead of doing this useless ritual?
