[Opinions] To a degree. (m)

I'd hate to have to correct people all the time, just so they could pronounce the name in the proper way! For example, I saw a girl named Sian on the tv and as we all know it's pronounced "SHARN". Did her family know this when they named her that name? Clearly not, since she and consequently everyone else was calling her "SEE-ann"! It drove me up the wall to be quite honest! So basically, I would think twice before choosing any name.
