I sh*t you not, I just received a business email from someone with the last name "Emmenegger". How would YOU pronounce that one?

(hint: sounds like a racial declaration to me)

I'd pronounce it "You'rearacist".

The apostrophe is silent.

I believe Coonface is how that one's pronounced. Don't quote me without double checking though.

I wouldn't attempt it, most likely.

We have contractors in Ireland and one of the women I worked with there has a first name of "Fionnuala". I had no idea how to pronounce that.

Fih-nay-lah is how she said it, although she said it so quickly I had a hard time catching it with the accent. I didn't mind though, I could listen to that accent all day and not get tired of it Smiley: smile
