The thing about some of these people with odd names is that they are bad people. For instance I once had to work with a woman named Michelle. Okay, but it was pronounced MY-shell, and she had a shitfit if anybody mispronounced it, even if they’d never heard it before, like they ought to just know that it was pronounced MY-shell, not me-SHELL or anything else.
If it had been up to me I would have fired Michelle’s ass.* Not because of her name. Because she was an asshole. Had nothing to do with her race. She was on the phone. People called and said, “Am I speaking to mi-SHELL?” and she would say, “No. You are speaking to MY-shell.” In a very snotty tone.
And that’s been my experience with a lot of people with odd, nontraditional names, so much so that now, they have to prove they’re worthy people if they start out with this name, rather than the opposite.
(*which it wasn’t. The only two people I have actually fired were named Vicky and Judith.)
