Friend of a friend: Qucquie.
Uh...
Uh...
WHAT? How do you say this? Where does it come from? Is it a name or the sound you make while coughing up phlegm? I can't even form a coherent thought

EDIT: She made a typo. The name was Jacquie. Much better, but the point is that i actually believed someone had named their child Qucquie.

all i can think of is - is it ethnic? as i reread, in my attempt to pronounce, all i kept coming up with was "cookie" ;)

I'm reading it as Koo-kee or Kwoo-Kwee o.O

I read it as some very odd version of Queequeg - from Moby Dick! =P

Well, it could have been pronounced Cookie :D
As much as I dislike Jackie/Jacqueline etc, I'm very relieved to know it's not actually that Quebecquie-thing..

I'm so glad it was a typo... I read it and thought of "Quicky". EW!!
