Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday. It’s always exciting to read through content from other writers and use something from their web sites.

I keep thinking about this one.
A friend of mine in college was from Taiwan. She told me her name was Kelly and her husband’s name was Vincent. But those were not their names. They told me a lot of Chinese students choose an English name when they arrive to study in the USA and deliberately use it from then on.
I tried some but wasn’t able to pronounce Vincent’s Chinese name correctly and to this day, I guess it’s been almost 15 years now, he is still Vincent to me.
My friend’s real name was easier to say. Even so I think she was genuinely touched when I started calling her Chilei instead of Kelly. They got jobs locally after graduation and still live in Ohio; I’m going to be up home in September & hope to see them and their kids. I think I need to really learn how to pronounce Vincent’s real name…

I don’t correct people. Like Ana Lilian we chose a name for our daughter that sounded nice in English and Spanish. My parents don’t speak English very well, Spanish is their first language. We decided on Violeta. While I pronounce it Byo-leta, most other people pronounce it Vee-o-leta. When spelling, people often times add an extra ‘t’ also. Friends close to us pronounce it the Spanish way the best to their abilities.

When people do mispronounce it I see no reason to correct them – English is usually their first language. When I have traveled with students to South America, their names were mispronounced all the time or they were re-christened with close approximations in Spanish. Susan became Suzana, Jennifer was pronounced Yeni-fer and John (a blonde) became ‘El Gringo’. Students only corrected if people asked or they were way off (like Robert gladly told his host, his name was not ‘Bow-ber’

For now my Violeta pronounces her name Byo-leta, but when she gets older she can choose to go by which ever version she prefers, even Violet. The choice will be hers if she wants to correct people on how to say her preferred name.
She’ll always be Byo-leta to me.

Thank you for sharing your post. I’ve always loved the name Marisol. What could be better than calling the Sea and the Sun.

We actually went through the whole name-selecting process with the thought of making sure we chose a name that could be easily pronounced in both English and Spanish. That´s why Camila was so perfect for us.
Marisol is such a beautiful name that it´s right for her to want it to sound correctly. I can definitely see how this is a proud mamá moment for you! Marisol es una belleza!

What’s cute is that this week Mari tried correcting her Occupational Therapist-who is from New Zealand! So, her OT politely explained that she has an accent which makes it hard, but that she would try. I think that was the perfect outcome! Mari learned about accents and I think the OT will probably “get it.” Since they work together twice a week it would be lovely if she did:)

Roxana does seem like one people would get “right”, but I guess you never know!

I love Xochitl! Always have, but was afraid of the same thing!

I think you’re right. I don’t take it personal, but I also see the value in making the correction. I don’t expect people to get it right, but it’s nice for them to try. I know I don’t always get it right, but I do sincerely try:)
