But as of end 2015, Indians have hijacked the hashtags to express their exasperation around the many weird pronunciations of their glorious names by strangers. A bunch of Twitter and Facebook users are now encouraging others to post screenshots of the correct spellings of their names. It's Sanchit, not Sanshit (WTF?) says one.
"It's not bhangi," writes an annoyed Shubhangi. Yash, not Ash, Sanjib, not Sanjeeb, Sanjiv, Sanjeev, and definitely not Sonjeeb.
Here are some who would like to call you out on not trying harder.
It's Angsuman, not Angusman.
It's Swayam, not So..yum.
It's Chaitalee, not Chetali.
It's Joyeeta, not Joytita.
It's Pratiti, not Pradeedee.
It's Pratiti, not Pratichee or Prakriti or Pradeedee & definitely not Prachi/Prachee.
