So do I! And I absolutely refuse to pronounce my first name the English way! Why do we feel the need to do that anyway? Anglophones don’t do it! Only we do!
My name without an accent is not my name because it doesn’t sound the same. My name pronounced in English doesn’t sound like my name and doesn’t even have the same amount of syllables.

in reply to Stéphanie • • •ah yeah. This is why I always put the accent in my last name. Fuck these incompetent IT product managers.
(true story. I once crashed the payroll of a trillion dollar software company with that accent. Angry phone call from Texas)

That's a bit cheeky. They don't sanitise their inputs and then blame the customer? I hope you laughed in their face.
