Phonetic Graduation

To my surprise, as I looked up the formalities of my Graduation ceremony. The temptation to make the phonetic pronounciation of my name something stupid is extremely overwhelming.

STEP 2 - What does your Name Sound Like? (Optional Step) If you attend your graduation ceremony, the Dean will read your name out on stage. If people have problems saying your name correctly, please tell us how it should sound, to help the Dean to pronounce it correctly on stage. Here are some example: Actual Name (as spelt) Phonetic Name (how it sounds) Gunawan Widjaja Goo-na-one We-ja-ya Qunying Liu Choon-ying Liu Thi Truong Tuyet Nguyen Tea Troong Two-ed New-When Jonathan Stefanovic Jonathan Stefano-vich Tom Byrne Tom Burn Enter what your name sounds like (i.e. your "phonetic name") below. Please include your given name, other name(s) and your family name in the order in which you wish them read out. Note: If you do not feel that you need to complete this step, you can leave the New Phonetic Name field blank.
