if i hyphenated my last name, do you think people would actually take the time to sound it out correctly?
"Hello, is this Marissa ...pause... Wit...er...ink... pause... Witerink?"
"Thank you Miss ... pause...Walter...link."
"Marissa WilterLink, please dial 123, Marissa WilterLink, 123 please"
Don't be intimidated by nine letters, people. WIL-TER-INK.

i have students that call me Mrs. Johnson, spell it Jhonson, and ask me if I'm related to their friends with the same last name (who are, of course, black...)
