Unintuitive pronunciations

Revision as of 19:34, May 16, 2006 by Nsanders (talk | contribs) (added IPA, made into a table; I guessed on some of the pronunciations based on what was written before...)

A lot of names around here aren't pronounced the way they look, but their referents are often too modest to correct you. So, this page is dedicated to collecting and disseminating the proper pronunciations of names that are often bungled.

rhymes with: IPA
Paul Reyns "Mayans" [maɪənz] (or monosyllabic [maɪnz]?)
Jason Kohn "cone" [koʊn]
Adam Bloch "a bomb lock" [əˈdɑm blɑk]
Emily Ente "twenty" [ˈɛnti]
Noemi "show me" [ˈnoʊmi] (or trisyllabic [ˈnoʊəˌmi]?)
Wege Auditorium "Peggy" [ˈwɛgi]
