Zehava: Hi, my name is Zehava, and that's how I pronounce it, Zehava. It's actually pronounced like it's spelled, Z-E-H-A-V-A. I say Z because I'm from Canada. When I was growing up, people would see my name and kind of get halted by the Z, and so often when I was at a new summer camp or a day camp or a city camp, they would be calling the names and they would go, "Z..." And I'd say, "Yep, that's me," just because I knew they were scared to go through the rest of it, but it's actually pronounced exactly how it's spelled and I make the Starbucks baristas always give a try. And a lot of the time they get it right, so don't get stopped by the Z or the Z, however you pronounce it. Keep going and I guarantee you'll probably pronounce it and spell it correctly.
