for someone like myself, my first and last name (especially my last name) is difficult to pronounce. sometimes i don't bother telling people how to pronounce my last name (and once i let my prof in college mispronounce my first name for an entire quarter). i've even given an easier pronunciation of my last name in college.
today while catching up on ask a manager, she mentioned that she saw a colleague with a button under her email signature that states, "hear my name." her colleague used audio name. you can call the service, in your own voice, record the correct pronunciation of your name, and use that wherever needed (more so in business communications, i'm assuming). what a great idea. it is for use on online social networking sites (and anywhere else online that you need. although a link to one's name on a business card could also be something to consider.)
