As someone with a name that is a slight variation in spelling and pronunciation of a common name, I'm so tired of explaining that don't even correct people about it anymore. Please name your kid something fucking normal.

I have a very uncommon surname that is pronounced like it's spelled. Unfortunately, no one can pronounce or spell it. Even if I spell it for them, they get it wrong.

Not that easy if you're an international family... The name of our son is a very standard name but we had like 4 common spellings to choose from.

What does it mean to be an international family?
