Pronunciation

In India, no one can pronounce my last name. I would see their eyes widen in panic when they saw it, and then they would just mumble some wild combination of the letters. I get really annoyed with Americans and especially Brits when they say my name wrong (since its British and only 8 letters long), but in India it was such a relief. Their struggle matched my own in trying to say their names! So go ahead, Hindi speakers, pronounce it however you like!
