that is actually the name of one of my students this year. *head in hands* i don't know how i'm supposed to say that with a straight face or without using an outrageous french accent and making mustard jokes. seriously, people!

*gasp* i thought for sure people would be outraged by it like i was, but to each his own...

I don't know that I would use it b/c of the mustard thing, but I think it sounds really great.

I morally object to that name.

On the positive side, it does appear to be a reasonable phonetic approximation of the sound they want.

I think.

it's not totally bad. I didn't think of the mustard thing until you said it.
After all it's DAY-jzon on DEE-jzon

I had a Precious Diamond once. She went by Idreana. I didn't get it at all.

I used to have a friend who babysat for me ocassionally. She had 2 sons. One was Justin William. The other was Jovan Dijon.

I called him Cologne Mustard.

I honestly couldn't figure out how to say that, but I'm assuming it's "dijon?" Sheesh.
