Additional Information:

As post-WW2 immigrants from Poland, my Father was advised on several occasions throughout the naturalization process, to shorten or simplify his name, to 'make things easier' in the future. Clearly not an option in my Father's mind, he chose to keep his family name in tact, then taught all the children to teach others the correct pronunciation as needed.
