Andrea U'Ren: Hello, my name is Andrea U'Ren. My last name is spelled U-apostrophe-capital R-E-N. And it's a terrible name to have as an adult, and it was a worse name to have as a child because people would make fun of it. I won't tell you what they said or how they pronounced it, but anybody with an imagination might be able to figure it out.

I've grown quite accustomed to the mispronunciation of my name, so I take absolutely no offense if you forget, that's fine. If you want to remember how to pronounce my last name, it's as if you were trying to call me a little bird, a little bird, specifically, a wren. So, you would say, "Andrea U'Ren" as in "Andrea, you are a wren." Andrea U'Ren.
