My chosen name isn't exactly weird, but people have trouble pronouncing it because of how it's spelled (even though it's pronounced the same way as all of the variants :/) and usually spell it the more common way which I guess is fine but I'd prefer it if they didn't do that because I chose to spell it that way for a reason. There's also some people who have similarly pronounced names at my school so I check to see if anyone is talking to me even though not many at school know that name

I do the same for other people who have names that look hard to pronounce/are hard to pronounce so I don't screw up. I have a friend who has one of those and honestly I just gave up and started calling her by her nickname
