Name Pronunciation Query

I am meeting someone called Ewa later today and I’m not sure how I should be pronouncing it. Would it be like Ava?

Ewa don’t know?

No, I don’t! That’s why I made this thread!

My mum has a friend called Ewa, I believe you say it like ‘ever’

This doesn’t seem right but you’re usually a very trustworthy and serious person so I’ll take you at face value, thanks!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love stuff like this actually. V solutions oriented approach

Would just introduce myself, pronouncing my own name, they would respond by introducing themselves.

A lot of people from other countries I virtually meet through work I’ll just straight up ask them now how they pronounce their name.

Not decided if it’s mildly rude or not yet. Last week a guy called ‘Dave’ seemed baffled.

Ask them how to pronounce their name, I’d be really charmed if someone asked me how to pronounce my name

Well, she just left me a voicemail to ask to reschedule so I ain’t meeting her after all and she pronounced it “Ay-ver”

Cheers
