Yeah for sure, if they're already on shaky ground mentally. If they were raised with a good sense of self then they know who they are regardless of how anyone pronounces their name. If this is the worst thing that happens in life to a kid they are pretty damn lucky.

Mispronunciation ANYONE’S name more than 1x is disrespectful and insulting. Regardless of age.

I’m a teacher and I have anxiety regarding the pronunciation of names. I have 175 students and I attempt to make notes on the first day of school, I embarrassingly mess up unique names. Not b/c I don’t care but b/c I’m human. A little grace for everyone would go a long way.

-
Use your phone and take a 5-second video of each of your students pronouncing their names. Then you can review the videos at your leisure.

Not allowed to do that, especially on the first day. Students and parents need to sign media releases.

Wow. Reminds me of when I sat next to Carly Flower!

I’ve accepted that people have a hard time with my Scandinavian name but honestly I like to think that people do their best to pronounce it

Well you are really not doing your part to fit in. You need to be a victim.
