Anyone with a non-British name?

If there's anyone on here who has grown up in the UK with a non-British name, how did you feel about it while growing up and how do you feel about it now?
Do you love it or would you rather your parents gave you a "normal" British name? Have you ever struggled with fitting in issues and does it bother you to correct people on spelling/pronunciation?

Double barrelled Western European name. I was 6 before I could confidently spell it correctly Blush I go by a shorter nickname but get my full name mispronunced and misspelled regularly which pisses me off more than it should. Please give your child a short, traditional, easy to spell name.

Bump as I'm curious about this too!
