I've been BUSY & haven't had time 2 read abt The Hugos Name Thing but finally got 2 (at least this thread+blog post) & now have ADHD fissionfusion collision thoughts on
* foreign/immigrant names
* name changes (trans etc) (also women -> married name)
* Time I changed my name & back bc pronunciation
My legal surname is "Wishnevsky." It's mispronounced by just about everybody I meet who has occasion to use it despite being easy: wish-NEV-skee.

I try to be very good natured about this, because those people weren't told there would be a test.
Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"
