   My sympathies... Dorothy was happy to change her name because   
   people far too often failed to be able to spell or pronouncce   
   "Jones" (go figure...).  She found out that you have to spell   
   "Heydt" for people and help them with pronunciation (my 'go to'   
   way to do that is to say '...as in altitude').   
      
   Our daughter was happy to change her name when she got married,   
   only to discover that people can't spell or pronounce "Creelman"   
   (which is pronounced just like it is spelled).   
      
   My only conclusion is that people, generally, are really, really   
   bad at spelling and pronouncing names...no matter how simple or   
   straightforward.
