.: How difficult is it

………..to get a name right? Forget about the pronounciation, atleast get the word right. I am referring to the different aliases I go by at my new work place. On the first day, a few people called me “Amanda” or atleast something that sounded like it. Bad as I thought it was, come the next day a few other people call me “Athena” or something like that. Nowadays, its a little better considering that I am getting a few phone calls and people come to my office and ask me how my name is pronounced and I end up teaching them. And when people really can’t get it even after my efforts to teach them, I let them call me “Andy”. So much for names!!!
