That's why i called my program Diep (pronounced as the word 'Deep' in english),
as nearly no one outside of Netherlands can pronounce 'Diepeveen'.

Actually one of my family members managed to get a road called after them in
Australia. The "Diepeveen-road".

However, it's for sure non-dutch speaking English/Australians have no clue how
to ever pronounce my name.

The hard 'p' and the hard clear 'v' sounds that Dutch has are not there in
english.
