How do you pronounce your name? Is it Mo-dee-sit or is it Mode-sit or something else?
The “family” pronunciation of my surmname is MODD [rhymes with “odd”] ess-it. That, of course, breaks every rule of English pronunciation, but it’s what I inherited.
In my head I’ve always pronounced it mo-de-sitt.
mo (as in the first part of moth)
de (as in the first part of develop)
sit (as in sit down).
I’d always thought I could be wrong but it turns out there were more possible variations that I’d considered.
