I gave myself a name after having another name for 26 years of my life. After re-introducing myself to some people, I've had some tell ME to pronounce my own name. There are multiple ways to conceivably pronounce it depending on what root/language you wanna derive the pronunciation from, but I chose a specific pronunciation when I picked my name. That really activates my almonds. But when I hear my name the way I intended for it to be pronounced, it feels good. Not at all surprising. It just feels right
