My cousin had a little boy last month. His name:

Cael Cainnech [McC--]

That's a lot of Cs for one baby! And Cael is pronounced kale. I'm not sure how Cainnech is pronounced, but I think it's Irish.

WDYT?

i have a question.
do you (or someone you kno) have a common (or slightly common) easy to pronounce name that is constantly mispronounced?

the name i go by most is my middle name. which is Katherine.
very common name, very easy to pronounce, no?
but most of my family members pronounce it Kath-Ern, rather than Kath-Er-In, especially my mom (she named me for cryin out loud lol)

i live in Tennessee so idk if this is a southern dialect thing or not, but sometimes it annoys me (most times i don't even recognize it tbh) i mean, it's been happening for 26yrs now, so i'm fairly used to it, and i guess it's not something i can't reallyl change since like 99% of my family pronounce it that way. what's funny is when i introduce myself to ppl, i pronounce it as Kath-Er-In not Kath-Ern.

the reason i asked this question is because i was in CVS the other day and this little girl was named Jessica (very easy name to pronounce you would think) but her grandmother kept pronouncing it Jess-Kuh. and i told my mom that i hated that. like, if she couldn't pronounce the name she should just call the lil girl by a nickname or something imo..of course, my mom didn't do that 0_o
