The benefits of becoming somewhat locally well-known (my son keeps asking, "Your famous, RIGHT?". Trippy, Please.) is that people pronounce my name right. The bad thing is now I have to pronounce it right.
YOU LAUGH, but it's not that easy. Half the time, my own wife (the 4th, current, and the one with seniority) pronounces it with a long "o". My paternal grandfather's daughter (for the geneologically challenged, my AUNT) spelled it W-A-T-R-I-N-G. For that matter so did all of his BROTHER and SISTERS.
I know since I come from WV you are probably expecting a COUSIN joke right about now. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!
I HAVE SOME DIGNITY.
