Born in Puerto Rico raised in the mainland States. (Don't know much Spanish. My accent is Virginian.) First name is extremely uncommon. Not to mention gets butchered to kingdom come. (It's Lamech, if you are wondering.) I've gotten the same questions and responses as you have. And you know, just grow a thicker skin because there will always be people who will ask these questions. It's okay to roll your eyes and sigh. But don't get upset. It's not worth it. And these statements and questions are never meant in spite. Just curiosity and pleasantry. So, just shrug your shoulders and go, "Despite the name I'm a local like you" and move on.

Is it rude to ask how you pronounce your name? If I ever meet another Lamech, I'd like to say it right the first time. :)

[mekkio]

No, it's not rude at all. If you don't know, you don't know. And the name is simple to pronounce. It's "lahmek." No pause between syllables. It rhymes with, "Ahh, heck."

[(Anonymous)]

Random, but is that a Spanish name? I would never have pegged it as such. Looks much more European (and not the Romance countries either).

[mekkio]

No. It's actually Hebrew. From the book of Genesis. Though I am Catholic. It's just one of those obscure Biblical names that every fifth Catholic kid gets.

You know, You're Mary, You're John, You're Joseph, You're Sarah, You're Zelophehad. Wait, what...?

Yeah, I'm that kid. (Don't get me wrong though. I love my name because it is unique.)

[(Anonymous)]

It's Biblical.

[(Anonymous)]

Cool, I was right on the pronunciation. :)

This, honestly. Hell, even I would have asked you from where your name was, and I'm from central america. I get that some remarks can be rude, but most of the time it's just curiosity.

Besides, after meeting like 19 'Jesicas' and 'Megans' during their lives most people are going to be a bit curious about more unusual names.

[(Anonymous)]

I completely agree with you. I'm in the same situation as OP except talking about my country of origin can bring on some uncomfortable discussions. Thing is? When the only thing people know about you is your name, and your name is unusual, of course they're gonna ask about it.

If people asking about your name makes you question your identity, you may want to figure out where this insecurity comes from and deal with that...
