Or Grommitsome?

But spelt oddly - not going to type it as I'd rather she didn't stumble across this thread if she googles herself,

When I was trying to find a childminder, I rang everyone on the list before the minder I ended up with, because I wasn't sure how to pronounce her name. If anyone else had vacancies, she wouldn't have got my business. Maybe that's why she did have vacancies. (She turned out to be an excellent minder despite her odd name!)

I think it's the other way round, unless you see awkward names as some sort of proxy for racism.

I have told people how to spell my name and they have got it wrong.
