How have people mispronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound?

Mispronouncing my name is the theme of my life. When my mother was pregnant, she thought that Tamara would be a good name -- simple, easy to spell, sticks around through life. She wanted it to be like Tamara, as in like tomorrow. Once I was born, a nurse mispronounced it as Tamara as like Ta-mare-a. My mother liked that one better, and changed it once I was taken home. Months passed and a relative pronounced it as Tamara as in camera. My parents like that way the best. So, the third and final pronunciation stayed.
My middle name is another story. It's Dulva, but most people pronounce it like vulva. However, the "a" at the end is a long a, in my case. But we could never figure out if it was supposed to be that way.
