How do you pronounce your name?

I’m a bit fickle with character names and have found myself changing them from time to time when I realize people may be mistaking the pronunciation for something awful sounding. At least to my tastes.

I pronounce this name cor - TAH - jah but it makes me shiver to hear it pronounced corti - jah!

Howabout you? How do you pronounce your name and do people ever butcher it painfully?

Fun!

My character’s name is pretty simple to pronounce… F-ran-kah. Just sounds differently then how it is spelt.

People miss the N. It’s Dawnson, not Dawson. Like Son-of-the-Dawn.
