Ah good, I'd guessed "Erwan" right, or close to it. 8)
*begin rant!*
LOTS of people, even if I've said it right to them, get my last name wrong. Nearly everyone gets it wrong at first, and a lot of people revert to the wrong pronunciation even after they've heard me say it the right way. My supervisor says it wrong, and she's worked there for over a year. My former SO still says it wrong, and I've known him for about four years now.
Nobody ever knows how to spell it, and nobody seems humanly capable of pronouncing it. I think it was mangled on the way into the States; it makes no sense and it sounds ugly. Hate it. Hatehatehate.
'Course, my mom's name is almost as hard to pronounce and spell, so it's not like I could use anything else even if I tried.
