Believe it or not it's usually not that hard to string like 3 unfamiliar syllables together if you take a few seconds to put in literally any effort you fuck

As someone who gets their last name butchered regularly, last names are fake and don't matter.

First names should always be pronounced correctly and usually only take one or two tries to get right.

i've never heard an english native speaker pronounce my first name right and it's one of the biblical names...

it's hard for them.

edit: i should like to mention that i cannot for the life of me pronounce the german name "Werner" properly. there's something there that's just beyond me. i can make a go at it and germans are good enough to go along with it, but it's just so hard.
