a random encounter
Me: Hello.
Him: Hi I’m Ah Ron.
Me: Har?
Him: Ah Ron. Ahhhhh Ron.
Me: How do you spell your name ar?
Him: A-A-R-O-N.
Me: Oh Ayyy-ren is it…
Him: Yah.. Aaaa Ronnn.
Later when I told Sotong about it, she commented, “Damn fail lah. Even Chinese ahbeng must know who Aaron Kwok is, and Aaron Kwok doesn’t call himself AHHHH RONNNN.”
Heheh.

I think the Hongkies(ahem) mastered the skill of mis-pronouncing English names:
Friend: Can I speak to Alex please?
HK Lady: Alex? Who’s Alex?
Friend: The guy in charge of Booking
HK Lady: OHHHHH Ah-Lek-Si is it?
Friend: Uhhh…
HK Lady: His name is Ah-Lek-Si, not Alex. Why did you change his name?
Friend:………….

Fun! In Spanish I am usually Elena because they have trouble with Ellen and ggggggghelin sounds weird. In Malaysia I am often Irrin, Illin, and Allan. Plus, they “correct” my surname to White from Whyte – because orang puteh can’t spell, right? ;-P
