My name is spelled Simran but it's pronounced Simrin. When people call me Simran, I don't get too fussy about it because it's spelled like that and it's not there fault. But if they say it wrong, I tell them that it's pronounced Simrin not Simran. People usually have nicknames at home but I don't really. My family and my relatives call me Simrin but I do have 1 or 2 relatives who call me Sim in a lovingly way.I also have pronounced other peoples names wrong. After I said other peoples names wrong I used to feel bad that I said it wrong. I always used to think "Wow, I shouldn't of said their name wrong. What if they're mad at me now?" But I knew that it wasn't my fault because other people have the same names but there just pronounced differently. My name is also really popular in our culture. You might know a couple of other Simran's in grade 8. 1 of their names is spelled Simran, the other one is spelled Simrin, and Simmrin who is my friend that lives in surrey. Though I would love that people pronounce my name Simrin not Simran!! :)
