Interesting. I'm an Ethan, and people often call me Evan.Dolos said:I know a guy named Liam and he has the same problems having people pronounce his name. my name is Evan (Ev-van) but so many of my teachers called me Even, or Ethan. its just weird. Even is a word and th does not sound like a v. I think its a fault on the teachers, my Chinese teacher can call me by my name and she still cant pronounce a third of English words right.
I hope to God you weren't out for track >_>....Romblen said:The name Liam doesn't really seem strange to me. I can understand it being mispronounced, but I don't see anything unusual about it.
As for having a name that people make fun of you for, I can relate. My name is Forrest, which seems to be universally associated with Forrest Gump. Granted it's a good movie, but I don't really like being associated with a character like Forrest Gump. He's an idiot, and as interesting and likable as a character as he was, he was still an idiot. Usually I deal with by taking it as a joke, most people aren't trying to be mean when they use it, it's just an obvious joke.
So... Rawne1980 + quality weed = High Noon?Rawne1980 said:and all the "noon" jokes I can handle.
I understand that. I'm Jonathan too. But I use Jonny, and even after seeing it they instinctively add an 'h'.JCBFGD said:My name's Jonathan. I go by Jon. People give me shit for not using an "h"...LOLWUT?! Jonathan doesn't have an "h" in it, so why the hell would the shortened version of my name have an "h" in it?! Morons.

I did get a few jokes thrown my way but they were half hearted.
