I think it's a subtle poke by Jeph at the Faye/Bubbles shippers.

I don't expect English-speaking people to pronounce my name correctly (that is, as a Chinese-speaker would), but it is tiresome when they can't manage the close-approximation-in-normal-English-sounds that I use myself, and insist on using German or French pronunciations that are alien to both Chinese and English.

You mean after hearing you say it, or just by seeing it?

That's what I'm assuming. It's also giving Faye the chance to respond in the negative.
My name is not mispronounced, but is misspelt all the time. It's an uncommon spelling, so I just accept it. But when I write it out and it's still transcribed incorrectly, especially on things like phone line applications, I get a little grumpy.
Method of Madness:
Anyone ever have people spell your name wrong when they're responding to you on Facebook? Even though, you know, your name is right there? That happens to me all the time, and my name is short. Sure, there are other legit ways to spell my name, but if my name is right in front of you, maybe spell it right.
