This is where I go for all my trivia questions, so here goes. Long time client gets married and her new last name is Szychulda.
Origin? Pronounced? I know, just call her by her first name, but help me here (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

I am going to go with: ciz chewl da (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Just ask her to pronounce it slowly and work with you. I have found that people with hard to pronounce names would rather not have you butcher it and appreciate the effort in saying it right. Try: Piyaphichetkul |

Thanks for the hints, all. From her email:
phonetic would be: shulda and it's polish. And I thought my German last name was a pain! |

I get lots of comments about my last name. It's not that hard. Most people try to add a vowel. I was at swimming a race and the anouncer called out the names of the person in each lane. Aperantly when he got to my name he asked if I wanted to buy a vowel. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) My ears were full of water so I couldn't laugh but everyone else got a kick out of it. If you pronounce it just as it's spelled you got it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
Vowels are over rated. |
