My last name is Eidson pronounced Edson. But everyone say's Edison or with a long E or a Long I (IIDson or EEDson). I am so used to correcting people on spelling and pronouncing it that I correct people when they actually get it right.
To make it fun for my daughter I named her Brittney NOT Brittany. :) She has never seen the Three Stooges, a Pop-Eye cartoon or the Cavity Creeps.

With luck by the time she is at an age where it matters, the kids won't know who Mr Ed is. I mean.... my son, who is a bright wide-awake child, asked me the other day who Ringo Starr is. "One of the Beatles," I told him. Blank look. I was trying to think how you could mess up Paxton. Seems pretty hard; the key factor seems to be a similar, common, name. He'll probably get called Paxil later on though. I shortened my name to Dana in middle school; in French the name sounds just like a chemical, maybe something similar to glycerine.
