I always liked the name Scheherazade. A bold choice, though.

A person actually named Austin Powers. I still can't get over it. I want to provide proof but I'm not sure if it's safe because the name is ungoogleable or unsafe because the number of real humans called that probably narrows it down to one for easy doxxing.

Was this Austin Powers born before or after 1997?

Will report back, but as they don't seem to be old this might be the same thing my boss had when he named his daughter Sophie only to find out so did half the other parents that year when she entered kindergarten. If so I can't imagine the mindfuck of picking a weird name and then when they're a toddler his name is somehow the biggest comedy film that year.

There was a kid in my last school named Elsa AFTER the character from the movie. She was every bit as spoiled as you might imagine. e: Now that I think of it, she spends a LOT of time locked in a palatially-appointed room, but it's more because the parents are rich do-nothings that only had children because it's expected of them than because of supernatural abilities. She doesn't have ice powers, but she can really lob a handful of sand.

There is a Sheldon Cooper in these parts. A full decade older than BBT, but I'm sure he still gets lots of stares.

I knew a Ross Perot in high school (pronouned the same way as the failed politician). I remember we had an assembly and the guest speaker pulled him up for an audience participation part, and when she asked his full name, he refused to give it.

I usually see one spelled Anna (Anne-uh) and one Ana (Aah-nah), but the second one is usually a Spanish name.

HopperUK posted:You can pronounce the first vowel sound as a short A or a long one. "Long A" usually refers to the diphthong vowel sound in a word like "rain", which is neither "the ash vowel found in the usual American pronunciation of Anna" (sometimes called "short A") nor "the vowel used in the pronunciation of 'Anna' in Frozen, which is close or identical to the vowel in 'hot' in most dialects of English".

Anyway who says long A and means the /ei/* diphthong should never be allowed to talk about phonetics or language in general ever again. *) Think I'm gonna look for the correct symbols? gently caress you.

Let me help you all: Anna is either pronounced like a North American Anglophone person saying "banana," or how it is in Frozen, with an Ahhhhh sound at the beginning. If you can't figure out the non-movie pronunciation, say "banner" without the B and R sounds and it should work phonetically for most regional varieties of English. (Kiwis are on their own, vowel-wise. Decks.)
