Every time they do a roll call, I'm anxious how will my professor pronounce my name this time. He would be in full speed calling out Anderson, Blake, Carter, etc and all of a sudden there is an uneasy pause and my name is called out. Each time the pronunciation is different. But, honest to goodness, my middle school Principal's last name is "Dickoff" and people with out hesitation call him out, but to this day, I can't look Richard straight into his eyes and call him Dick. I'll make sure to name my children with fewer syllable as possible.
