Any current linemen, possibly Marc Colombo as, randomly, he follows me on twitter.

ulf, how do you pronounce your last name?

[Mike]

I know it's wrong, but every time I see it I pronounce it 'A-wimo-weh' and start humming the tune to myself while grinning.

Imm-Vee-huh...

Reportedly, it’s a somewhat garbled modernization of ancient Norse and roughly translates to ‘in the woods’ or ‘among the willows’…

Glad to put a smile on your face, Mike!

It's not that hard to do, put a smile on the face of a fool.

My surname makes people glare and become hostile when they see it/try to pronounce it.

Actually Mike, I read a Scottish crime novel last week where a character had your surname (roughly) and it was pronounced differently to how I expected (I thought it was pretty much how it's spelt and similar to that guy in that famous animated film). So do you pronounce it 'as read' or um not?
