My name is hard to pronounce in 'Limburg' (that's a part of Belgium xD)

They always say something like Nekkie while it's just Nikky .

We always have discussion about that with someone from East-Flanders (or something xD) because her name is Nina , and then she says to the girl from Limburg , why don't you just say Nikky , you also say Nina and not Nena .

Then the girl from Limburg always starts to exaggerate saying NIkky , that's so funny ! :roftl:

I don't know it's hard to pronounce for people in other countries , but I don't think so. ^^

But many people spell my name wrong , they write something like Nicky, Niki, Nikki, Nicki, ... :aah:

My name is Cherelle (sure-el), but lots of people can't say it right. I had a hard time in school with teachers, who could never get it right, which surprised me because I thought it was pretty easy. :naughty:

People usually say Cheryl, but I've gotten Chereel, Shanay, Sherry, Cherol (that one made me laugh, so it stuck), Cherella, Shaniqua, etc.

(as far as I know Limburg is a part of The Netherlands)

In Limburg hebben ze zo'n sterk accent dat ze Nekkie zeggen, denk ik ;) Mijn nichtje is ook Limburgs, grappig accent wel

Hehe had a laugh reading through all these name confusions lol.

People pronounce my name wrong quite a lot lol.

I'm called Serena

but people either pronounce it with and "i" Serina lol or change it completely to Sabrina wtf lol thats not like my name at all.

People always spell my name with an "i" instead of another "e" Serina which is annoying.

My mum always calls me Rena lol as a nickname

and my friends think i'm random so they call me Random Rena

yeh just a little bit wierd :aah:

I have a pretty basic name. The most I have gotten is someone saying my last name is Jones and that was only because it was mispelled or the person read it wrong.

 

I may have a little more fun with the last name Binkholder, which is going to be my new last name in August!

I always thought that my name (Lena) is quite easy (of course around here it is ;) ), but when I talked to English-speaking persons they always called me "Lina" . Then I corrected them:"No, not Lina, Lena" .... but I always gave it up soon ^^. It's okay, just call me Lina , I will get used to that :mf_rosetinted:.
