I know a guy named Ashley!

Andrea is also pronounced more than one way, so having it in the bio "Ahn-dray-uh" or "Ann-dree-uh" is useful. I've met people who use both.

I think there's a divide between people who are like "I can just tell when I see them and that's what I'll use, why would you need that" vs people who are used to mostly text-based communication where they've made that mistake enough times accidentally that they see it as useful information.

And yeah. When you're communicating internationally, you just can't possibly know every semi-rare name in every language. It's way easier for people to just *tell you.*
