Growing up, I always knew when a teacher would get to my name on the list: Krystha. There’s a bit of a pause, and a glance around the room as if to say, "I know you’re in here you little jerk, now just tell me how to say it so I don’t have to apologize for botching it." I'd always let them give it a go.
I've been a social media manager a couple years now now and, as such, tend to meet people via the internet first (cause ya know, it's the 21st century - and that's not weird at all); so the name question can come up months after starting to work with someone when we actually have to use the phone for the non-internetty voice purposes.
"Oh, hey there - crazy we've worked together 6 months now...but, I just realized I have NO idea how to pronounce your name! Crazy, huh?"
"Yeah. So bizarre! Totes."
[indignant sigh]
Well. It's okay. Just know that it's like Thomas. Or Theresa. Or the Thames. The "h" is silent essentially. As you can imagine, I question my mom's judgement on this seeming trifle daily.
So, now that we've gotten over that hurdle, feel free to poke around a bit, stalk me on all of my social media with the links below, and shoot me an email for any more specifics.
