From Mispronunciations to Resounding Honor
How to Ensure Every Syllable of Your Child’s Culturally Unique Name is Spoken with the Honor It Deserves
JOIN the FREE 3-Day More Than A Name - School Prep for Parents
Has the richness of your child's culturally unique name been diminished at school by mispronunciations, use of nicknames, or even replaced with “easier” names?
Do you sense your child’s hesitation to claim the fullness of their culturally unique name as an attempt to better blend in?
Do you recall your own frustrating and dreadful situations with your culturally unique name & are you concerned your child may encounter similar painful experiences?
You Are Not Alone!
Their culturally unique name, is a precious thought-filled gift that you, as their parent, gave them, at birth. Their culturally unique name conveys a distinct story of cultural richness, identity, and legacy.
Hence Why..
Every syl-la-ble of your child's culturally unique name should be spoken by others with the dignity it deserves WITHOUT the need to accept repeated mispronunciations - shortening - use nicknames - anglicizing - replacing with “easier” english names.
Your child should freely wear their culturally unique name like the badge of honor that it is.
My own name, a treasure trove of heritage and identity, faced similar challenges decades ago.
From the tender age of 5 after starting school in a new land, my name was often lost in the translation of repeated dreadful moments in school. As a child, the feeling of being ‘othered’, of yearning for my name to be properly acknowledged in school, is one I knew intimately.
Decades later, as a mother, I saw history threatening to repeat itself through my children’s experiences at school.
But I changed the narrative for mine, and helped other children do the same...They proudly wear their culturally unique names like the badge of honor that it is & every syllable is honored and spoken by others with dignity it deserves.
Together, we have the power to also rewrite the narrative for your child as well!

Mrs. Tran
"In one session I referred to him by a nickname, he very politely paused [the conversation] and let me know that he would prefer that I call him by his full name not that nickname and he made sure to break his full name down so I could pronounce it correctly.
I was so proud of my student to be able to communicate this in such an effective way, and for his age as preschooler to be able to do this was such an incredible incredible moment."
Ms. Gaspelin
"There were other teachers in the building that maybe the first time they met him they didn't know how to pronounce it but he was very cordial the way he said it, he wasn't embarrassed about it he was confident about it and he was pleasant when he told the teachers, other adults or the children that they were mispronouncing his name."
"It's very important ...if you are not called the right name or the name is not pronounced correctly you're going to think that you're lesser than the rest of the kids whose names are pronounced correctly. So this mother did a wonderful job."
Mrs. Foley
“The pronunciation of a name is really important because when a child hears their name that's what they identify with. So when you don't hear your name pronounced as it should be, it doesn't feel like you, so then it's really helpful when parents can guide us."
So then we can right away start with saying it correctly and get in the habit of saying it correctly and then it becomes just commonplace.
I appreciate at the beginning of the year receiving details from the student's parents."
