I have gotten so used to changing my accent when I say my name, that sometimes I forget what the actual pronunciation is!

lol.. Hello.. I am Gahg-un. Better than becoming Gary (which I considered briefly). Best alternative is to come up with easier names..

Growing up my teachers could never get it right.

For the first time in 9 years I was tempted to say "Kim" or "Kate" instead of Kaamna, but it was to a Chinese lady! The world's a melting pot and there are lots of names I can't pronounce either.. what's the big deal?

I never mis-pronounce my first name... maybe because i think it is so easy to say... Rohit is ROw your boat and HIT a ball put together... i have to confess i mis-pronounce my last name all the time...

There is really something about people mispronouncing name, look at my name, you know how to read, isn't it ?
Ok well, some people still find the way to call me Christopher, I dislike that.
