Aunt Kumg called yesterday.
Phone ringtone: Kyuhyun's part from Bonamana.
Aunt: Oi! How do you pronounce your Christian name??
Me: Whaaa?
Aunt: Your Christian name, how do you pronounce it?
Me: I have a Christian name??
Aunt: The J-O-O-L-Y-O-N-E, what is that?? How do you pronounce that??
Me: Oh Joolyone! It's my nickname.
Aunt: What nickname?
Me: I use the name for everything.
Aunt: So how do you pronounce that?
Me: Joolyone. Ju-li-un. Why?
Aunt: Ah ok. Joolyone ah? Ok ok.
Me: Ok, bye.
In the end I don't know why she asked. Haha!
Maybe she's irritated not knowing how to pronounce it.
And yes, she called to SOLELY ask about how to pronounce my Christian name. LOL!
And no, she's not being rude. I love hearing her talk like that :)
I simply love her humour. Who doesn't in the family?!
True, many people have been having problems pronouncing ALL my names!
Kexin. Sakyou. Joolyone.
So now, Imma give you all TUTORIALS on how to pronounce my name.
This is a necessity. LOL!
For Kexin, I'm going to make this easy and as much as I hated it, please pronounce it as CURSING.
And no I don't curse for life.
For Sakyou. It's SA-KI-YO. Or if you STILL cannot pronounce it, fine. Will SUCK-YOU be easier?
For Joolyone. This is a one-of-a-kind name. There's no other name on Earth spelled this way. Seriously. But the pronounciation is basically JU-LI-UN or in the more common spelling, JULIAN.
The end of tutorial.
Don't mispronounce my name anymore, geddit?? 

Haha! This is fun!
