my name is Josh. or Joshua actually. easy, right? change two letters and its not. i have a buddy named Joshem. pronounced Josh-um. no one ever gets that right. he gets a lot of Joe-sheeeeem.
Except when your kid gets frustrated because no one can spell/pronounce it and she gets picked on. Originality is not always a good thing.
