Jonathan Eig: My name is Jonathan Eig. That's spelled E-I-G. Three little letters, and yet, people find so many different ways to mispronounce it. I get, "Egg, Aig, Ug, Eng.". It's hilarious.

My grandmother used to say it was the ugliest name she ever heard. When she married my grandfather, she said, "Do I have to take that name?". Back then, there weren't a whole lot of options. But, at least it's short.
