How about when a name is pronounced funny just to be different?

Like Deborah.

Instead of Deb-o-ra or even Debra people say De-BOR-Ah with the emphasis on the BOR.

I find that silly. LOL

I call my mom that JUST to mess with her. She loathes her name, but goes by Debbie. We worked together for 4 years, so I stopped calling her mom altogether. Now, she's just De-BOR-ah... I love it!!

This just reminds me of Young Frankenstein.

I had two kids one year spelled Jaron. One was pronounced "gerin" the other was pronounced "gahron" I was constantly mixing them up! Whatever, you've got a made up name anyway! Drove me nuts!

My mother's name is Corinne. She pronounces it like Corrine - and then gets offended when everyone else on the planet doesn't. Excuse us all for pronouncing things as they should be!

I have two cousins named Kaisa.

The older one is kay-za. The younger one is Kay-SA. They both lived in the same school district, so the younger one always spend the first few weeks of school correcting the teachers who assumed that it was pronounced the same way.

(Oh, and they have the same middle name too. One is on my mother's side and one is on my father's side. Very odd.)
