In one of my grad school classes, we were all introducing ourselves to the class. One girl's name was spelled Katti. She stood up and said, "Hi, I'm Katie, not 'catty'."

I felt so bad for her because I have no doubt she's been saying that her entire life. We actually became friends and I still call her "katie not catty" as a joke.

I was in class with a K'ssondra in college.

Her mom wanted to make sure no one ever called her Kuh-SANdra

I guess the good thing about this name is one day she can choose to pronounce it correctly and it will already be spelled right.

That's so sad! How awful! I can't imagine introducing yourself that way your entire life.
