Since I moved to the US I don't think I've met more than three people who've got my name right first time. 'Rose' is the most common choice, followed by 'Ross'. Now I try to let an American friend introduce me first but even that doesn't always work.

I love these books too. Anne of the Island and Anne's House of Dreams even made it onto the (necessarily short) list of books to be brought to America. I hope your girls enjoy them too one day.
