Do elaborate - I've gotta hear this. My own last name is mispronounced and misspelled more often than not, but at least I've never been told I'm wrong!
I'd like to hear that story as well. My last name is not that unusual or uncommon it is just often mispronounced. If you pronounce it correctly to include all the letters (so it will be spelled correctly) no one knows what you are talking about. I've been corrected (kinda) before as well.
It's Thornton. But everyone pronounces it "Thorton". I usually pronounce it "ThorNton" and have had people say "what", then I repeat, and they "Oh, Thorton".
Good luck finding a Thorton in the phone book. I've tried and have never run across that name before.
is that something like how people pronounce massachusetts? or government?
