My parents disagree on my pronounciation
My name is a traditional-ish Irish name, with a traditional Irish pronunciation. However, in the United States (at least) there is a second "less correct" but still completely acceptable pronunciation.
Worldwide, depending on what the local language, there are some places where one pronunciation is "easier."
I have found in talking with other people with my name that while they are generally forgiving of someone choosing the "wrong" pronunciation, there is a way they think of themselves that is their correct way, and will correct people to how they want it pronounced.
My parents didn't realize until I was 6 months old that they disagreed on how to pronounce my name. My dad loved the "less traditional" pronunciation, and my mom lives the more traditional Irish pronunciation. They agreed to disagree.
I truly don't have a preference. I introduce myself both ways. I reference myself both ways. People in the know ask me how I pronounce my name, acquaintances are embarrassed they introduce me the wrong way, and it's so awkward to be like... No I am the rare one who truly doesn't care. Both are fine. Friends act worried they might have offended me pronouncing it different than my preference.
Edit: was trying to not dox myself but whatever. It's Maureen. traditionally: MOR-een. Less traditionally: MUH-reen
Does anyone else have the same sort of issue?
