What's in a name


Ever had your name mispronounced before?

I have on many occasions, and I must confess, the results can be both amusing and exasperating at the same time.

Granted, my Chinese name looks "confounding" to many in the first place (ie: Sze Yuen), so I can't blame them entirely.

Since my transfer to Melbourne last year, many people I know have grown accustomed to addressing me as Yuen (pronounced "Yin"). The others, however, still tend to call me:

1. Zee

2. See/Sii

3. Sue

4. Sei

5. Sei-Yoon *cringes*

6. Yoo-en/Yoo-an

7. Yune/Yoon

8. Iiiing (!!!)

Naturally, a few were so "off the mark" that I simply do not respond when they call. =P
