If your boss called you by the wrong name or mispronounced your last name all of the time would you like it? A person’s names means something to them and taking the time to learn how to pronounce it shows respect.
It may not apply to this case, but I know people who have their names pronounced by different people different ways and consider both “right” and don’t really care which is used.

My boss can call me anything he likes. As long as my paycheck has my name spelled correctly. Seriously, what is wrong with you guys? 😒

I am called by the wrong last name constantly at work. Like, several times every day constantly. I couldn’t care less and get a kick out of it.
I suppose senses of humor vary.

Just to be clear, I fully support Franklin and don’t make a habit of nitpicking everything he does… not at all. It does strike me as just a little disrespectful or disengaged though if the coach repeatedly mispronounces the starting QB’s name in press conferences. I don’t believe for a second that Franklin is actually either of those things… I do feel it kinda comes across that way though, that’s all I’m saying.

Would anyone care to try this name?
I understand one of his nick names was "scissors"

He needs to learn how to pronounce Allar's last name. It's embarrassing at this point.

Every time he says it, he makes me doubt my own pronunciation of it.

You people really need to get a life.

Newest form of microaggression: mispronouncing someone’s name

OK, Step, I'll give this a shot.

Se (short e) pan (frying pan) ski (today would be a great day to water ski).

I was blessed with one of those 12 letter Polish last names.

Basic training I was addressed as Alphabet.

Joe Paterno (in his later years) would have never pronounced my name correctly, but early on he would have nailed it.

Interesting thing is I never recall having my name mispronounced in Jersey but Kentuckians seem to have a real problem with it.

Joe had trouble figuring out whether his QB was “Bolden” or “Blocker”.

When my dad enrolled me in first grade, in Shreveport, LA he enrolled me under a more pronounceable name which I legally have today.
