Pronunciation of Andrine in the US

In the US, Andrine is primarily classified as a female first name. The American pronunciation, specifically in Vashon, WA, USA, is

ann-DREEN (Well, if you're in the USA, that is. In Norway, where it's from, it's ahn-DRAIN-uh, with the "r" slightly trilled)

Anglicizing this name has not made it pronounceable to most English speaking people. A large percentage of the people I meet can not see the first "n" in my name if they read it, and say uh-dreen. I don't know why this is, since everyone who speaks English can recognize and properly speak the word "and". A smaller portion of people insist it's Adrian or Andrea. And a smaller portion yet, insists on saying ANN-dreyene (the "eye" pronounced like your eyes) But people do not have difficulty pronouncing Nadine, Ovaltine, Vaseline, Maybelline, or gasoline. I can't figure out why this is, but it's still excruciating after 46 years. I'm about ready to call everyone who mispronounces my name "Bob". But people would then find me rude.

"I'm the fifth generation in my family to have this name."
