Do I correct my MD who is mispronouncing my name?

I networked with an MD at a BB about 8 months ago. Was randomly scrolling through recruiterbase contacts and saw he went to my high school of all things...and he actually responded which was shocking, we had a good call, stayed in touch, and he's been a legit helpful connection since then. Problem is from the very first time we spoke on the phone, he's been pronouncing my name wrong.

Like it's not completely random, he's clearly reading my name and just...mispronouncing it very wrong. In a way that no one else has ever. We had another phone chat since then and even got coffee a few days ago, and he's still mispronouncing it. Given the relationship, I'm almost positive he's going to be my ticket into recruiting with the firm and potentially getting an offer here. But I feel like at this point, it would be awkward if I corrected him given how much we've chatted and how many times he's gotten it wrong. And I really don't want to throw a wrench into the relationship.

Should I wait until after I get the offer to correct him, or should I do it now? Am I overthinking this? Serious replies only please....
