He’s going to have a hard time in New Orleans where there are lots of Etienne’s who pronounce it that French way, and not like a sneeze gone wrong.

In French and Haitian it’s eht-tea-ehn.
However he’s from Louisiana, so the creole pronunciation is the same sounds while sipping a sweet tea: “Ay-chin”

It’s basic respect for each other. Call people what they want to be called. Period. The end. Pronunciation. Gender. Et al.

Kind of an adjacent point, this is exactly why I don’t care what pronouns people want to be referred to by. You want to be called he/him/shlim/neodim? Fine. Doesn’t effect my day one bit, but it effects yours. It isn’t difficult to not be disrespectful and provide people with common courtesy. I don’t have to understand it, but it’s pointless dickhead behavior to just needlessly disrespect someone.

People pronounce my last name wrong all the time. I stopped caring in like, 2010.

Is that real? I thought it was a joke because that’s how Achane said to pronounce his name when everyone kept calling him “A-chain”

I don’t care enough to have people properly pronounce my name and I don’t have time to teach people either, but once it’s disrespectful I’m Ali vs. Ernie Shavers til we get it right.

Your name is sacred, protect it and ask people to speak it properly. Unless of course it was the name a transgender person picked out.

Don’t try to un-French it up, son.
Edit: Did you guys know the actual quote from Joe Dirt is “Don’t try and church it up” I thought it was French it up for years.

That’s not a proper pronounciation of the name Etienne in French though, where it derives from…
Great self joke right there LOL
Never call him Harry
Its unfortunate how many people just have to white wash their name because a certain genre of person cant be bothered to learn.
Mr. Kuntz gets it.
People call me my last name more than my first name at this point
I just call people what they want to be called and it’s working super well for me. Of I get it wrong, I say sorry and then try to get it right.
Mike Hunt and Harry Kuntz walk into a bar…
I worked with a Richard Strokes years ago. He was very adamant that we called him Richard
Hi Harry!
Jokes aside he’s a great reporter for KC.
Mr. Kuntz knows what he’s talking about!
It’s going to be a whole thing if white guy Noah Knigga gets to the nfl.
For reference, it’s pronounced ke-nay-guh but it’s going to make a LOT of announcers very nervous.

Not only is the Kuntz Harry, but he’s Harry R.
Harry: “It’s actually not pronounced ‘Coontz’.”
