Bethesda, Maryland? Have you been defense contracting again?!?! Bad
boy!
If my name was Dilwyn, I'd visit foreign countries and pretend to be
mute.
I'd simply pass a calling card with "Dilwyn" printed on it, then
watch them
slaughter my name. I haven't decided if that would be masochism or
sadism...

He he...good idea!
Having just returned from the Caribbean islands and found one of my
taxi drivers in St Vincent was called "Llywelyn"...(yes, though black
himself, he explained his grandad was a white Welsh mariner who
married a local woman and settled there).
I was a bit concerned that the locals might not understand my Welsh
accent. In practice, it was the scousers and geordies who needed the
interpreter. Guess who usually had to interpret for some of the locals
trying to communicate with some from England ;-)
Actually, mispronunciations of my name are rare. Mis-spellings
(usually in QL Today) are more common...
Dilwyn Jones
