But I think that even though the same letters are involved, the Greek god of War probably prefers to be refered to as Ares and not Arse.

Points for consistency throughout the document, though.

I have a friend, an American of Chinese descent, who has admitted that she can't quite pronounce her own name properly.

And my last name -- TenEyck -- is Dutch, but I have absolutely no idea whether I'm pronouncing it right or not. And I've been told that that spelling of it is archaic.

Yes, Eyck (oak) would be spelled Eik in modern dutch.
