[Opinions] Re: Are you hesitant about names that are often mispronounced/misspelled?

Only if it's really close to the more common name. I think it's just because I've grown up with Ana (Spanish form, not just random spelling) and I constantly have that problem. I've given up entirely on pronunciation. With spelling, I think the issue is that it's not quite enough of a change that people really register it, so even people I've known for awhile will still sometimes write Anna. I think that if the spelling/pronunciation is different enough, people notice more & will remember after the first correction or two.
