That's surprising, I think your name is quite easy to remember and spell. I could spell it right now if you asked me. I've never heard it pronounced though, so I don't know whether the accent is on the first or second syllable. Once I heard it though, I wouldn't forget how to say it either.
But I feel your pain. My name is short and you'd think it'd be quite easy to spell, but everyone gets it wrong all the time, even relatives and people who have known me my whole life. I've seen at least 30 incorrect variations, and it's quite irritating. It's not all that uncommon either, so I don't really understand why it's so difficult.
Aside from that though, I love my name. Not a huge fan of my last name though, just because it's rather boring. People spell that wrong too, because there are two commonly used variations of it, and even though mine is the slightly more common one, for some reason everyone assumes it's the other one.

Rosebolt said:I can easily remember both of your names. I don't know what's so hard about it. When you told me your name, Solivagant, was 10 months ago. And even though i talk to you, LF, regularly, i don't think i'd forget your name or the way it's spelled or pronounced.
My own name, hmm, i'm not sure. It's simple, unremarkable. But i guess i can make it leave a mark.
