I had a high school friend named Anthony. His mother pronounced it "Ant-knee."

A friend's wife named their daughter Beatrice Ophillia Magnolia. Not one mispelled name...but I thought it was damned cruel of mommy to saddle a girl with that.

Many years ago I had a female student from an asian country named Sue. I asked her one time if that was her real name, and she said it was an American name she chose to go by. So I asked her what her real name was. She said "Yuksuk" was her asian name and said, "Now you know why I go by Sue."
