Your name is one of the basic building blocks of your identity. It is usually the first information you share with others.
It is how you are called and recognized. Names have value and can be very influential in your life. Often rooted in culture, family, religion, ethnicity, names are “connective”.

Like many with “difficult” names, school (and childhood in general) was very stressful. It is well known and widely accepted that students with “difficult” names feel anxiety, shame and embarrassment that can result in lack of participation and poor performance. Your identity can suffer and the impact is long term. I am a sales and marketing professional where pronouncing names is critical. Potential clients struggle with my name and many times I struggle with their name. I let my clients and contacts hear my name as I wish it to be pronounced and they in turn can reply with the correct pronunciation of their name. It is the ultimate ice-breaker!
