Maybe I am a picture

A picture is worth a 1000 words. How about a 1000 different pronunciations? That's what people do to my last name. Most of the time it is like a game. I will show my ID or anything where someone has to try to pronounce it, and it quickly becomes humorous. People will scratch their heads, and look at it quizatively, as if they might just get lucky and get it right.

Here, you try: It's spelled Moosekian.

I have seen all of the following attempts:

Moo Seeky Yen
Moo Sky Yen
Moose Ken
Moo Shakin
(this is after I have told them how to pronounce it the right way)
Moo .. Moo .. Moosey .. How do you say it??

Its pronounced: Moo Shay Key Yen

I have this unfair advantage. I've talked to your son. ta da!
he seems to think that I sing a certain song, so he always asks me to sing it when I talk to him on the phone. We're all trying to figure that one out. needless to say, he is one of the few humans to hear me sing. He's tough as nails.

He's the only one who can get me to actually sit through the "Bear Cha-Cha-Cha" song 40 times in a row.
