Just for clarity here = Sydne is *not * the one in the picture.  That is her brother Justin.  She said that she has never had to correct her name pronounciation - I imagine that most gather what it is from the first letters.

My name on the other hand is Jaci.  My mom says it's pronounced "Jackie" /  my father insists it is pronounced "Ja see".  Now that's a true naming conflict.  No doctors office has ever said "jackie"  when calling my name .  I pretty much just answer when they look in my direction.
