I have no trouble saying my name, but it's really hard for anybody to pronounce it. There are about 4 ways my peers say my name, "Dieu".
1) "Dee-yoo"
2) "Deal" <- that's how it's supposed to be pronounced
3) "Dil"
4) "Do"
Most others call me by my last name.
And I would hate to go to France and introduce myself. The chance that I'll speak to a religious fanatic and have him hate/worship me scares me.
