Anyway, you'd think it'd be easy enough to pronounce or spell for that matter, it's pronounced like Alison, or Allison is but that Y throws people off. We get Ally-Son like song but without the G all the time, and I just giggle and she says "No, my name is Ally-gator" ha ha ha~C~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07339715700098306573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-4383868975736415132011-03-10T16:18:41.588-05:002011-03-10T16:18:41.588-05:00We have the same problem with our son Finlay.

It doesn't matter how many times you tell people we pronounce it Fin-LAY not Fin-LEE, and that he doesn't respond to it when said the wrong way, they still say it wrong!<br />When he gets called Fin-LEE by teachers, doctors, visitors etc it becomes really annoying. It may just be a pronunciation to them but it's my son.Abbeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-13967552916167279132011-03-10T16:09:02.460-05:002011-03-10T16:09:02.460-05:00Yes, I do!!

Would they call an Alexander Aleskander? :-) I always thought her name is so easy (I mean I have no idea how to pronounce neither Brianna nor Lynae!) but maybe it's because I'm not English speaking? What can they be thinking of then - Alaska maybe.... Hope people around you will improve - to help her!Milenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18042828734758536970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855066593161369056.post-79701518485083592272011-03-10T15:13:03.362-05:002011-03-10T15:13:03.362-05:00Lol rk!

LOL!! I think it is just a matter of if a person paid attention to their phonics lessons when they were in school. The kids at the schools I sub at are always amazed when I can figure out their unfamiliar names most of the time. Or maybe I'm just a genius!! (NOT)!! LOL!!!! By the way, there is a ski resort in Alaska called the Alyeska Resort. Just thought I would add that to the mix. Happy day!! :)Diane Kesslukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240277831592223862noreply@blogger.com
