I went from Hoffman (which is pronouced HUFF-MAN) that was always botched as HAUF-MAN to
Gulick, which is pronounced G-YOU-lick, and is always botched for GULL-LICK or GOO-lick.
Maybe you will have better luck at getting over it, but it still drives me nuts every time someone messes it up. I know they don't mean it, but it's not my name , ya know?!
Now don't be makin' fun of country folk:)
