..... I'd like to know how to pernounce "Hsien"
Or Kusuyo(Or even learn to spell it right, at least.)

I GUESSED "shawn" at AWA, but apparently that wasn't it. Dwchang corrected me, but I forget what it was. Was it "Shane" or something?
ANd I could never attempt his screenname...

)v(ajin Koji: Is that your name? Ha, My first name is Benjamin. Funny thing though that your post reminded me. My name means "son of the right hand", I have a friend named Jamin which I'm guessing just means "the right hand", so he thinks that makes him my father. Weird huh?

Hsien is pronounced "Shane," yes.

Actually, I know another Mim.

And as far as Hsien/Shane goes, look no farther than Road to Iron Chef for actual pronounciation guides

And as for my last name Llewellyn...people still can't seem to get it right a lot of the time.

theres a character in a book i'm reading, "Enemy Pride" it hink ... thats his first name... and i've teen trying to figure it out for a while.

What i find funny is when people try to pronounce my name. Giovanni. they usualy Geo-van-ni usualy ... sounds so funny when i hear that.
or they say gi-von-ni. it's supposed to be joe-va-ni ... or something like that.

No one has a problem saying my last name, but they have problems SPELLING it. My last name is Asencio, and the doof dorks spell it Ascencio. THERE'S IS NO "C" AFTER THE "S", DAMMIT!

Well if you are going to talk about spelling errors on names then I'm game. My last name is easy, Jeffreys.
I've had it spelled;
Jeffreys (correct)
Jefferys
Jefreys
Jeffries
Geffreys
Geffries
Jeffrup
Jeffrii
Jeff
Jeffreies

I think that's about it. It may not sound too bad, but when important people like our insurance guy spells it wrong (or everyone else for that matter) it gets annoying. Seriously, 8 out of 10 people I go up to and ask how to spell my last name, 8 out of 10, thats 80%, get it wrong and it annoys me that they can't spell such an easy name.
