Would you marry someone with a name that you can't pronounce right away yourself?

Answer 1

Of course. Five years after you marry them and that name is your own and you don't even know yourself by your maiden name, you'll look back on this question and laugh. You'll be annoyed by people who don't pronounce it correctly because it will roll off your tongue so easily.

Answer 2

You mean would I give up a relationship so important that I want to spend the rest of my life with someone. Or do you mean I am willing to destroy my chance to be happy for something so minor?

Okay, a difficult name can be a hardship. You can always keep your own name, or if it is more important than your love for each other then you can have him change his name.

I suggest that you learn to pronounce his name properly; he isn't requiring that you learn a new language, just one word. Have him speak it slowly and sound it out. Then memorize it, after that memorize how to spell it. It is such a small sacrifice to make for a lifetime relationship.

Answer 3

I married someone with a name I thought was easier than my maiden name. I kept it even after the divorce and have to constantly repeat it for people. With one of my clients who has Alzheimers I stopped telling her my real last name every time she asked (several times during each 3 hour shift) so now I just say it's Smith and I don't have to keep repeating it.

Answer 4

No. If I loved someone enough to accept a marriage proposal from him, I would have - long since, learned how to pronounce his full name and to spell it properly. The name itself, however, would not prevent me from getting to know the person behind the name.

Answer 5

Sure, And then I would keep my last name. And no one pronounces my 1st name right on the 1st try so I guess I'm used to that situation.
(ps- my husbands last name is easy to pronounce but I didn't take it-go figure...)

Answer 6

Of course, if you love someone, a name isn't important. That would be like not wanting to marry them cause they have blonde hair and not brown. You should know all this right away.

Answer 7

Uh no, why marry someone whose name you can't pronounce? That shows you don't know much about that person!

Answer 8

Dear sweatie, Marriage is about love and never on how to pronounce his name, so, if u love him deep enough, grab him by the *** and tie the knot. you can call him sweatie, love. hun, *****,@#@$@% or whatever after you married him. ok ? now, take a good look at him and decide what u wanna call him, enjoy.

Answer 9

Yes, I would have married my hubby even if I couldn't pronounce his name.

Answer 10

If I wanted to marry the person, the name wouldn't stop me. If you are considering not marrying someone due to their name, you really shouldn't marry them.
