    Sorry Pravit. I know that "equivalent" is a bit of a strong word to use for a foreign name. When I speak German with my friends, I prefer that they pronounce my name G
    Гунтер

    Yes, in Russian texts I have seen Гюнтер and never Гунтер. Гунтер sounds to me incorrect.

    That's because when you speak with the Russians in your school you don't actually write out your name for them, do you? And I really doubt you say Матт as in "Maht"(as in something about not using мат even for educational purposes - для вас и ваших детей стараемся). But the written form of your name should be as close as possible to the way it's pronounced, and it shouldn't have more than one form.

    Don't be so hard on yourself Dog. I've taught and/or been a student at a range of places from no-name to elite Ivy League and let me tell you, there are really smart and really dumb people everywhere. Your experience is what you make of it.
    Yes, I live in Texas. No, I don't support Bush.
