and....the site is American ....... 
I just looked up my 'middle' name .... which is French .... and it is not right .... infact there was a comment from an American with the
same name, saying that she hates it when peeps get the name wrong, then went on to spell what she said was the 'wrong' pronounciation in
phonetics ..... and it is actually right........ 
ah well .....

I get used to people getting my name wrong... if the chances are i wont see them very much i just let it go.
But it does get annoying, however i never expect them to get the danish pronounciation!

Knowing the Irish it's probably pronounced "Lisa"
As a child I wondered why I never knew of ANYONE in my town that was called "Show-ban" until someone told me that Sioban is
"Sher-Vorn"
Seriously I'll have a go at "Gren" like Gwen

That one always used to, (and still does sometimes), confuse me sometimes
