Portland OR has a street downtown named Couch. Except it's pronounced 'cooch'. I can't put that one on loving millenials; people in general seem determined to bolster their fierce regional group identity by butchering the pronunciation of a few things, and then acting indignant with the rest of the world that knows how the language properly works.

The weird thing is that I've recently seen more WASPs give their kids normal names with really messed up spelling or pronunciation then turning around and looking down on black folks that do the same thing and have for god knows how long. Oh sure, Jenniue is such a better name than Kassandrah, totally
