How do you say your name?

I was in my local Safeway yesterday and the cashier looked at my name (Sandeep Krishnamurthy) and did the usual- "Ohmigod! I am not even going to try to say that one." Sigh. I went into my usual script- it is an Indian name and is spelled exactly as it is written. You know- Sandeep Krishnamurthy. Should I change my name to Sun-deep to get a better reaction?

In any case, I now have two audio files on my personal FAQ to help anyone interested- Sandeep Krishnamurthy.
