jewels , That's funny cause there are teachers at the daycare who call Julia, Julie...like what. you see her everyday all day, you better not be calling her that during the day, I should probably say something at some point. We call her Queen J, so I guess as long as she isnt asking people to call her that, we're good  B has been called 'Ben' many times and I always correct people. It's either 'B' or his full name. I'm glad they ask that on school and sports teams forms so people know a head of time. What's B's name again? I feel like I knew but I can't remember... |

My name and M’s name is always mispronounced. It doesn’t bother me anymore when people say may name incorrectly. I stopped correcting people in junior high. My mother was pissed when she went to a parent teacher conference and my algebra teacher was caking me Tanya. I went the whole year without saying anything. Lol. I correct people with M’s name and made sure her kindergarten teacher knew how to pronounce it before the first day of school. I’m pretty sure she just goes with flow so I’ll need to be the one to correct people for the time being. I think I say your name wrong! I guess I’ve never said it out loud. OMG, I always pronounced it Tonya in my head. Tone-ya |

I think I must pronounce it the way my coworker pronounces it too.
I have no idea.

But Tania is a different name so I'm guessing not pronounced the same? Tgrimes said hers is pronounced Tone-ya. |

vino we call C ‘Boss Lady’, Queen J definitely has a more elegant ring to it 😂 I’d say let’s get them together, but they might start plotting world domination...

vino, One of my B's bffs has the same name. I like it. Not that my opinion of your almost 6 y/o name matters... but I thought I would share anyway

They absolutely would, it's fascinating to watch this little girl. For example, she walks into B's OSC room, with kids from ages 5-12, walks through everyone to find B, tells him to get his bag cause it's home time. The older girls try and love on her, give her hugs and she just walks right through them, she feels no need to get attention at the human level from any older kids. She is so confident and decisive, I hope she never loses that. |

We pronounce DD’s name Dutch, she’s all to quick to correct anyone who pronounces here name English & that includes us if we introduce her to English speaking people ‘That is not my name! I’m not ..., I’m ...!’

Patiently waiting for baby slenle updates. Still here. Contractions are picking up and I’m at 4 but I’m feeling pretty good. This is so different than my other 2 inductions. Doctor is predicting baby by 3:30, but I’m not so optimistic. It's 3:27. |

To mispronounce it then you say "are"
To say it correctly it is "air"
