Try putting in Pronounciation

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!

gron-ya i think am i right?

Just call her Granny .... I'm sure she'll appeciate it

or groine she'd love that too

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
