I didn't like my name at all when I was growing up. We moved a lot so I was frequently the "new" kid and even the teachers would mispronounce my name when school first started. My first name is Kana pronounced Kayna. My last name was german and very different so I knew at least one of the names would be mispronounced. I was very glad to marry a Davis. I love my name now as I never have to worry about being confused with someone else.
