"For my whole life, people have struggled to say my name. I get called Mikail, Michaela, Michelle, the list goes on. Now with this tool, I know when I meet someone in person for the first time, they're going to know how I pronounce my name and I don't have to spend the first 5 mins of the meeting discussing how unusual my name is."

"I’ve always been asked to use an anglicised name at work, but it made me feel like I have two identities. Like a split personality! Because of SayMyName, I’m going to go back to my traditional name at work."

"SayMyName is useful beyond the workplace. Ahead of my theatre performance, the narrator asked all of the actors to send a recording of their name, so that they could pronounce them properly for the introductions. Having a link to my profile allowed me to easily share it with the narrator, making it a breeze to help others Say My Name."
