My students and I have been committed to pronouncing people's names correctly for a long time. For example, in most of my books, the chapter authors' names are provided in phonetics (transcribed by the authors themselves). Some people find my name difficult to pronounce -- "Sharon McCloud" may make it easier!
Here are some useful resources found by my PhD student Helen Blake:
- My Name My Identity (https://www.mynamemyidentity.org/) provides resources and a pledge for students and teachers
- Name Coach (https://www.name-coach.com/namebadge) allows you to record your name and put it in your signature block or social media pages
