names

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

So, I'm studying this semester in South Africa, and we have these orientation leaders for international students with very interesting names. As far as I know, these are all legitamate names, rather than being made up or "creative". I'm separating them into males versus females because its not always obvious. Also, most of them are of African descent, but a couple are of European descent.

boys:
Moses
Tawanda
John
Ken
Thapz (pronounced like the word Taps, also this is a nickname I'm not sure what his full name is but Thapz is a shortened version of it)

girls:
Chenai (pronounced Shenai)
Thabi (pronounced like Tabby, a nickname, shortened version of her full hame)
Ronel (Row-nelle)
Monique
Nyoko

How are you pronouncing "row" there? Like a fight, or what you do on a boat?
