(and say it right while you're at it)
In my 24 years on this green earth of ours, I am still amazed by the amount of times people get my name wrong! The most common mistakes are:
'Jew-ahn'
Warren
Mark
Ryan
Wayne
'Jun' (as in "June")
'Jhaun'
Weirder mistakes are as follows:
'Why-Nah'
'Wyone'
'Meow' (Yes, that's right)
'Kwan'
'Kwami'
And the list goes on and on...
For fucks sake, people - it's JUAN. If you want a pronounciation lesson it's
Huan
Yes people, it's a Spanish J. Everytime I hear someone pronounce or read my name wrong I just think how not "in the know" these people are. How can someone not have seen/read/heard of people like Don Juan DeMarco, Juan Samaranch, Juan Carlos Ferrero or places like San Juan or TiJUANa. Even things like friggin mariJUANa have my name and yet people don't get it right.
One more time for those who haven't got it yet -
HUAN
Wasn't so hard, right?

Warren and Why-Nah are classics. hahaha. I've never heard the Meow one before wtf??? Either everyone you meet is deaf or they are just special ed.
My only suggestion is to move to Mexico where everyone is named Juan. haha.
As for me, I always get Susie and Judy. Two of the most ugliest names that exist. haha!
xo
p.s juan carlos ferrero is hotness ;)
My surname is Fajardo and I hear people pronounce it in at least 15 different versions everyday.
