Don't choose the name if you don't like certain pronunciations of it. I liked one for DD, but the local way of saying it (rather than where I was brought up) sounds very unattractive to me, so we didn't choose it. My sister is a Katie, but couldn't stand how the locals said her name Kairt-eh when she went to uni in Hull (Hurl) Grin
