I made an appointment over the phone, quite a few weeks back. The lady was not that fluent in English, but it was just enough to book the time. She asked me to tell her my last name, so I spelled it out..
EM--AA--ZED--EE--DEE, Mazed
Later when I went there, I almost burst out in laugh when I found my name written as
"Maxid"
Even later I realized what went wrong. Actually in Finnish alphabet, although my name is be written exactly as in latin alphabet, if I want to spell it out, i should say
AAM(as in I "am") -- A'h' (as in 'U'mbrella)-- Tseta(Almost like seta, with a stressed s) -- A ( as in Later) -- Da (as in Day)
Anyways, I kinda liked my name , Maxid :D
