One that sticks out in my mind is a girl I know named Hallie that pronounces it HAY-lee instead of HAL-ee. What's even more confusing is she sometimes goes by Hal.
Speaking of mispronouncing your kid's name, it reminds me of my cousin's brother-in-law whose mom misspelled his name. His name is Kieth (KEETH), not a typo. I can't stand looking at his name and typing it out like that made me cringe. I feel like I'm dyslexic.

•EYE-ven is also acceptable, if not technically correct. ie. Ivan the Terrible (nt) · LuzDeTuVida · 5/5/2009, 8:51 PM
