So I call some realtor today and I see her name is "Tonya"
So I dunno, I pronounce it like I would Tonya Harding.
hello, may I speak with tonya?
.....ahem...TOE-NYA!!!
umm ok.
yeah this is her.
yeah, I assumed it was Tonya...
WELL DON'T WE ALL!!!
then there was this guy named edward but he pronounced it Edu-ard. yeah it's my name as well, I know how to pronounce it, like its fuckin spelled.
Don't get pissed at others cause you decide to be a unique snowflake and pronounce your lame ass generic name as if it was something special.
Like the chick in 90210
Onndrea.
I hate when people are pretentious.
Joe-l. No dick it's Joel as in Billy
The best are the morons that phonetically spell their offsprings name and it's anything but English.
So much for public school education.
i call my asshole hegzit onley.
i worked with a joe-el and i now work with a Tawn-ya but it's spelled Taunya.
a jo-el not spelled joelle?
yeah but your name is actually unique, not like Tonya.
It's not as if your name is Emanuel and you pronounce it emanoooo
see thats funny cause when i tell people my name they say Emanuel and i go no e mon new
yeah, now thats bad.
I figured you get "eye-man-new", alot.
On a somewhat related note, my name is spelled Damian.
HedCold spelled it Damien the other night. I didn't bother correcting him as I don't really care.
A manager at work calls me Marie and i get really annoyed.
ooh so thats how YOU spell it, mr. fancy boy.
I do really hate when people spell my name "Eddy" though, what kinda shit is that.
Did any of you ever have nicknames growing up or currently? I never did. I guess my name was unique enough that there really was nothing else for me to go by.
Danked is the closest thing.
My parents call me "re" or "rere".
I never even knew that's what they called retards until like a year ago when lush made fun of me for it.
90% of the people I know refer to me by Soup.
I've never heard retards called "re" or "rere."
Me either but i've heard alot of people say it's true.
