My mother's maiden name, Heumann, (and my last name pre-adoption and marriage)is Americanized pronounced "human". The pronunciation in Germany was "HOY-menn".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not sure there is an unamerican way to pronounce my name.
You could clean up the spelling some.

Damn foreigners with their fancy "K's" and whatnot!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Your new name is...Julie Eggs.
That sounds like I should be eating cannoli in the back room of a Jersey Italian restaurant. (Instead of working in a South City Italian restaurant. Okay, I see your point.)

I am suddenly very proud I have not Americanized my name.
If Prop 8 hadn't passed, we could have gotten married, hyphenated our names to be 20 letters, and really messed with people's minds.

Good spelling is elitist, I don't want to go there.
Congrats on the house d!

That sounds like fun. Not fun enough to move to Iowa, but still.

My last name was Americanized in a dramatic way. I have no idea of the correct spelling (and it wouldn't have been the Roman alphabet anyway), but it was something like Niprovnischki.
