When it comes to names, I think everyone would get along quite well if we adhered to the following two rules:

• Name-sayers: Don’t gawk at the spellings of uncommon names or mangle them for humor. Make an honest attempt at reading them, and at pronouncing them when you’re informed how to say them.
• Name-havers: If someone can’t seem to pronounce your name just right, don’t assume it’s a slight against you or your heritage if there’s no other reason to think so. People typically can’t pronounce sounds or sound sequences that don’t appear in their native language without extensive training.
