    It frustrates me as well, because I'm not sure if it's an honest mistake or someone just not making an effort. I also hate it when people act like they know about him by saying "his fans refer to him as Domo." Does anyone refer to him as Domo?

    It is indeed annoying. Donatas needs to change his weird ass last name to make it easier for Americans to pronounce correctly.

    Why not just legally add the letter "n"?

    I actually think they are pronouncing it like "MOTT-ee-yunas" (like the applesauce, juice, etc)

    People often forget the line above the "u" as well.

    Disturbing, to say the least.

    It always annoys me when people silence the "d" when they pronounce "Harden."

    I thought this thread was gonna be something about how well he's played and it's about a misspelling in his name? Americans don't know how to spell less complicated names. We're like 20th in education what do you expect?? LOL
