There is only one rare mispronunciation of my name and that is 'Ica-roose', tends to be eastern europeans that pronounce it like that.
The other problem I get with this name is that people sometimes think im russian.
EDIT: With my real name it's a completely different story, people say 'luck' sometimes (Luke) and with my last name it's double barrelled and some people get different bits of it wrong so sometimes Catlin turns into Caitlin and Groves turns into Rose.

My last name is Desa******* and is french.
People said it sounded like Lasagna. It doesn't. Its pure hard constantent sounds. Yet from grade 2-7 i was called Lasagna boy. It was the most stupidest nick name i was ever given.
It was the equivalent of calling Frank, Doughnut. It makes, no, sense.

Usually people don't mess up my Escapist or PSN name since they're the same, and simple to say.
My real last name has produced some problems. Mainly because its so long and has so few vowels. No one can spell it correctly, and have problems pronouncing it.
My Steam name (Tofu Bacon) has gotten a lot of popularity on the servers I play, and it's annoying when people call me Bacon, rather than Tofu or Tofu Bacon.

my gamer tag on live is naddadietz, its supposed to be pronounced (nah-duh-dee-tss) but no one can figure that out, so it becomes "nads" whenever someone tries to talk to me...didnt think that one out when i chose the gamertag. as far as my real name its spelt Jeremy, ive had freaking English teachers spell it "Jermy" "Jeromy" "Jeramy" and my favorate "Gerimy" (granted that last one wasn't a teacher and was 5, but still...)
My last name is Heck. Four letters, as in Hell. But unless you spell it out when you say it, you'll get back Beck, Jeck, Zeck, Neck, Deck, Hack....
Arn't those both names from "Sound and the Fury"? That might actually explian why people think your name is spelled as Quentin and Stern; they assume you were named after the charecters in the book.Mr.Mattress said:
OT: my Rl name is Phil Burke, since their both one sylable names, they come out fast when their said, so a lot of people think it's "Philburt" when they hear it
My last name is spelled Goncalves . Its a common Portuguese last name. The problem is the C is pronounced like an S so people often pronounce the C like you normally would. Some even add a K sound to it.
This leads to names such as Gon Cal ves instead of Gon Sal ves.

Last name Wegner but everyone of course says Wagner, and no matter how many times i remind them it always Wagner, makes me feel like my great great great great grandfather put his document's somehow wrong cuz everyone's a Wagner... Hell even my mozilla automatic spell check thing says Wegner is misspelled but Wagner is'nt.
