It may be cool to have an original name, but we don't pick our names, our parents/guardians do.

o see my name is spelled like Rena but its Polish and is pronounced Re (like redone) na (as in like nuh) so im called Reena alot and my last name is also Polish but my middle name is really common.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Maybe people don't pronounce it right because you explain that to them. If your name is pronounced Rena (ree-nuh) then that is normal. And the re in redone is pronounced ree. So.... your name is pronounced exactly like it is supposed to be. Reeena. That's how you pronounce it. If you pronounce it Rena (reh-nuh) then saying redone doesn't make sense.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

ik but id tell people how to pronounce it REna and they still pronounce it wrong

it really sucks when u have a common name, and there is about five people in your class with the same name. i'd rather have my own hard to pronounce name than share mine with 5 others
