The problem is (or so I've found out on the basis of my own experience) that sometimes it's hard to figure out what names are difficult to pronounce and what are not. Kirsi is impossible everywhere. While working in the UK I immediately became Kirsty and had to live with that. Earlier when I was at the language course I tried to be clever and use my second name Marita. But that was even more impossible than Kirsi. They couldn't say Marita in any recognizable way. I thought they might have tried saying it like Maria or Rita or something like that. But no.
