It is common to have a surname mispronounced. People either dont really look at the spelling or if its not phonetically spelled they dont know how to say it.

Unless it's something simple like Smith, Jones, Washington, or Anderson...... you can expect people to butcher a name that is complicated or difficult to pronounce. Some people will realize that it may be pronounced several different ways and ask you how it is pronounced.

All the time. My maiden name is Helfter. It's usually pronounced Helfer, Helfner, or Hefner. It's because either they don't listen when your mom's family members are introduced to people, or people don't bother reading the name correctly. My married name is Fleeman, and EVERYONE says,"Freeman".

the same reason why people pronounce my first name ty-me-koo instead of Ty-me-ka (Tymeku) seriously would you say coop instead of cup? how hard can it be!

I'm not falling for this question into divulging personal information in which you can use to steal identities.
