If so, my first name isn't so bad. I don't think it suits me, but as a "stand alone" it's semi-tolerable. It's not that common though, and as a result most people butcher it. I'm tired of correcting and explaining. When pronounced with my last name, it's even worse. My last name is not the last name I was born with. It's my stepfather's last name, who legally adopted me. It's a Polish last name, and when said with my first name, sounds like an unpronouncable mess, and if I hear "uhhh...what?!" on the phone one more time when calling for someone I'm going to scream. My birth last name is Gregory. I'd like to have it back. My chosen first name would be either Ethan or Vincent. Either is totally doable in my book.
