@jessamyn I have not said your name out loud, but I would pronounce it like "specimen". Is that close?

Part of the experience of when someone is having a hard time with your name is feeling blamed. Everyone else has easy names, but you come in here and make it hard for everyone. You're the problem, and insisting on being addressed correctly is unfair and distracting.
But the numbers are wrong. Not everyone else has an easy name. Most people have hard names. You're not being difficult; you're being normal.
Anyway, thanks for participating, everyone.

@matt it feels like this is one area where it's even less pleasant than in the old days of Android development. I'm pretty sure there was a button to click to run your app in an emulator right in the Eclipse-based development environment, and it would just fire up. Maybe I misremember details, as it really has been a long time. Last time I built anything for Android was when Android was new. I got that first HTC phone with a keyboard. I remember the dev process sucked, but the emulator was neat.

It made me wonder, how many of us have this experience. Is having a name that's hard to pronounce really being the "other"?
So, this poll's results were really telling for me. About 31% said that the people they meet always get their name right. That's great; no shame in that!
But that leaves 69% of people, the vast majority, that sometimes or often or always get their names mispronounced. Having your name mispronounced doesn't make you unusual; it makes you very normal!
