Teachers get me uneasy whenever they pronounce my name wrong. Does it tick you of when they're way of and say something completely else? My first experience was when I was in grade 4 F.O.B from India. The teacher say's "Sukjit", I couldn't think of anything to respond to her. It just made me feel upset that how stupid and ignorant this teacher was. Then I just eventually got to the use to the idea that I had to create a nickname for myself "Sukh". My next experience was in grade 6. The teacher called me "Suhck" I just felt like straight up smack'n her in the head. Eventually it got to me that these teachers are always going to have it difficult with me foreign name, so I changed my name to "Terry" in grade 7. But the end of grade 7 I changed my name back to "Sukhjeet", because I had to put up with people saying my name properly and it would seem weird a brown guy with a name of "Terry".
