Mingo sounds like an old-timey slur, it’s so uncomfortable to read.

Ralph Vaughn Williams too. But I've known a couple of /ɹeɪf/s over the years, and one of them certainly wasn't posh. But who knows.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:First names: If I were putting money on this, all of it would be on really young person. DemonDarkhorse posted:atabex-a prenatal supplement OR a misspelling of central american goddess atabey It took me a while to realize -a and -i were not meant to be part of the names. With the wild stuff in this thread, why not Atabex-a (or -A) and Onesti-i? Today's typography tip: hyphens and dashes are not the same, and a single unspaced ASCII '-' just looks like a hyphen and can really throw off rhythm and sometimes actual comprehension during reading. In short, in lieu of an actual dash character, spacing on both sides and/or doubling the '-' will greatly help.

He sounds like a libertarian who's claimed the seedy area underneath a bridge as his own sovereign territory, and will soon be trying to charge cars on the bridge for driving over his airspace. (NB: I have no idea how libertarianism works)

Happy birthday to Lavonnderrick. I can't decide if that's pronounced 'luh-VON-derrick' or 'lavon-DERRICK'. Which syllable is stressed?

I'm guessing it's just a standard hyphenation without the hyphen. So La-VONN-DERR-ick.

While this thread does have the potential to head into dodgy territory (and has in the past), merely discussing the possible pronunciation of novel names is not racist.

Are good names allowed? Because my niece has a cousin named Brandon Steele and that's an astonishing name for a toddler to have. He's the coolest person in any room he's in by default.
