My name is Brandy, and people ALWAYS spell it Brandi.
i gues sit isnt that bad, but its my name, ya know? I think it's a big part of who I am, so if someone spells it worng, I take it as a really bad insult.

I could never pronounce "nguyen", which is vietnamese. I know a couple of people with that last name and I always butcher it. I'd be like "nyuuungggggg" pinch.gif
