Mine isn’t even all that difficult but it’s every single time.

First name: very rarely, but it has happened before. Usually misreading it but one time someone truly just had never heard my name before and threw out a crazy guess (btw I don’t have a really common name, but you’ve definitely met people with my name and it’s very straightforward to pronounce) Last name: alllllll the time. 95% on the first try I’d say. And some people still never remember or take a while to remember.

My last name has an accented letter and it throws people off every time, I feel that! 😂
