Gems of the Month

Feature on The Maury Show here in the U.S.:

Collia (pron. like KIGH-ya or CA-ya)
Mohawc (yes, he had the haircut)

They're a couple.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend!

I think if my name was Mohawk I'd have one too, then people wouldn't be all "HARFHARF Why don't you have a mohawk then!?!?"

If I saw the name Collia, I would probably pronounce it as Co-leah, interesting how hers is pronounced. Never would have guessed.
LOL @ Mohawc!

I would have pronounced it Collie-uh. lol

so weird, but I guess not much should be expected from Maury.

I like Kaya, but that spelling is odd. Was she Latina? The double L is pronounced as a Y in Spanish, yes? Mowhawc is ridiculous...

How on earth can one get Kigh-a/Kaya from Collia? I understand that the 'll' can make the 'y' sound, but then where does the 'a' come from?
