How about you try: "My last name is easy to say but bizarrely difficult to spell. It should be Johnson - j-o-h-n and so forth. But it is actually j-o-n-s-s-o-n. It's Swedish (or wherever you're from). So I'm actually pretty easy to Google (or find me on LinkedIn). Not to many people named Jonsson - with no H and two s's." Let me know if you get a good response to that! David – So, how do we make your last name accessible in other people’s brains?

My biggest fears when meeting clients and people generally is forgetting their name, my short term memory is absolutely shocking! The issue I've got with my name is the spelling of my last name, 'J o n s s o n' everybody spells it Johnson, or Jonnson, which is not that great if they're looking for me on google or any social media platform.

My name is so unusual that there isn't a famous person with it and everyone forgets it even if I repeat it three times. But, it doesn't hinder me from branding my name. I love it. I think my best tool to have people remember it is to have them write it down. http://tradinawaller.com I have been told when pronouncing my name that it reminds people of the island trinadad, which is close but my name starts with “tra” not “tri” and ends differently too.
