I often follow the practice of not calling people anything, too. In fact, I've gotten good enough at it that some of you I've met in person might not have realized until now that I intentionally and successfully avoided calling you anything!
My full name is Gerald and that is pronounced with a hard "G" and not a soft one. It is very unusual pronunciation. (And that is why I go by Gary) When strangers pronounce it incorrectly I usually let it go, if I am not going to see them again it is not worth the effort to try to correct them.
I have a cousin who is married to a man named Gerald, pronounced with a hard "G". He was the only one I knew of that did that until now, but, of course, I have led a rather sheltered life.

LOL We hard "G" Gerald's are rather unique.
My trip is being delayed. The plumber has arrived (See Kerr's thread from last night) And he is going to need access to the crawl space. So since I am here already, I am having him do the work, but he has to go and get long pants and shirt.

've always heard Gerald pronounced as a "J". Garold??? never heard it pronounced that way.
It is pronounced like the first syllable of "garage" only with an e sound.
That probably doesn't make much sense, but I can't think of another word with that sound.

I have to say I like that but can see where you would get it mispronounced. My eldest is named Colin but gets "Cole-lyn" a lot. I think because of the popularity of Gen. Powell. Our last name gets murdered too...We get "pole-lard" instead of short "o". So..he gets frustrated a lot when he gets both names pronounce with long "O" instead of the short "O"!

On second thought, that would not work because I would want Sweet Tea with mine and she would not be caught delivering sweet tea to anyone.
