A person's formal name to me is never a matter of pronunciation.  There is a correct way to say it and all the other ways.  I constantly have to correct people on my last name.  Many want to say it as "Doe-stee."  But it's correctly said as "Daw-stee."  That is simple the way it is.  At least that's my view on things.

Just like Data with Doctor Polaski :)

I agree but that only works if you're there. When you're known internationally (as you are ;) ), however, you can have no control over how your name is pronounced elsewhere in the world and once a pronunciation becomes embedded in a particular country, nothing you can do will change that.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

Oh, you misunderstand me just a little.  People anywhere can say a name anyway they want (of course).  However, there is still a correct way and all the other ways.

- Sorry for the continued diversion from Doctor Who talk.  ;)
