Mad BYesterday at work I hopped on a debugging can with someone whose first name was Akshit. I tried, for pronunciation, "Aksheet", but eventually had a chance to ask how he pronounced his name, and no, it's Ak-shit.
I used to have a name that looked daunting, but was actually simple to pronounce, and I loathed people who chickened out and wouldn't even try to say it.
What do you think about pronouncing new names?
try to say the name, with most genteel pronunciation
try to say the name, as written
don't say the name, ask the person how to say it
something else in comments
just see answers
