237's team name is "Sie-H2O-Bots", not "Show-Bots"! It's pronounced "See-Hoe-Bots", just like Elgin has it spelled out in his profile to remind people.

My first name is legally "Jason" although some people don't even know that. I have seen it spelled "Jayson" though once. Other than that I don't think that name is easy to butcher.

Most people call me "Jay" though thinking that is my real (legal) name but I've been called that for as long as I can remember and the one I normally go by since everyone knows me as that. I did have a new receptionist at work keep paging me as "Renee Hartmann"! Atleast it rhymed with "Jay".:rolleyes:

My last name is "Hartmann" and that's been spelled wrong many times. I've seen "Heartmann", "Heartman", "Hartman", "Hartmen", of a few variations. Very close but no cigar.

I have always had issues with my name. My full first name is Alexandra, so, over the years, I've been called a variety of things--Alex, Alexia, Lexy, Lexa, Lex, Alexy, Alex, Alexandria. I always tell people I simply prefer "Alexa," though some still haven't quite grasped that concept.

Also, my last name is "Stott," not Stout, Stot, or Scott.

My last name is "Levine." It's not actually that uncommon, but I get "luh-'vine" pronounciations ALL the time. I actually have a friend who wrote a song about me and his band recorded it and sent me a copy, and they mispronounced it throughout the entire thing :rolleyes: It's "Luh-'veen."

Oh, there's a freshman this year, her name is Chiath...Chaita...Chiatanya..Ch.... Oh, nevermind.

It is spelled Luxury Yacht, but pronounced "Throat Warbler Mangrove".

We've had folks call us the T-O-Neers, clearly having never seen a lowercase Pi.
