That actually doesn't seem hard to pronounce, just to spell. Is it "boo-fah-k-red-dean" ? If it is, I like the way it sounds.

I have a three-letter last name that people (usually white adults) still manage to pronounce wrong.

It blows my mind. I really don't get it. >_<
And if it was pronounced as something simple like Ben. It's like "My name's Ben" 'B-E-' "No! it's spelled differently. K-R-Z-Y-..."
Smith..

Seriously? How can you mess up "woody"?!
I usually have to tell people "pronounced like 'flesh' without the 'f'."
Llewellyn. Not that hard, but people still manage to screw it up b
