In reply to Seppo Helava.

I can’t even imagine. I did get a few racist name pronunciations coming from the other direction, though. A few times in the 70s and early 80s, I had people ask if my name was pronounced like “Jerrdan.” It didn’t make any sense, but I later found out that a lot of former slaves adopted the name “Jordan,” so it became a fairly common name among black families. White families in the south wanted to emphasize their German whiteness, so they started pronouncing it “Jerrdan.”
