    If you can say Benedict Cumberbach or Timothy Chalemet you can say his name. English has the sounds already there, you just don’t want to do it.

    I’m more European than he is because all of my ancestors were traveling whores, apparently.

    That said, I’ve no difficulty pronouncing his name. If you can’t, that must make you one of the following; illiterate, lazy, stupid, or racist.

    Any one of these should disqualify somebody whose job is to work for the people.

    If you can learn how to pronounce all the Finnish, Polish, Czech, and Slovak last names in Michigan, names like this should be easy. There’s not even a bunch of silent consonants in there!

        And put the emphasis on the FIRST vowel.

        The problem is when they have mishmashed English and Finnish to make brand new words. Kowsit Lats = Cow Shit Flats, where people put their cows out to pasture.

    I had a friend who has 10 names https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NmwBFfvYyUM

    I haven’t talked to him in a couple years, cause he turned out to be a transphobe, but this thing he did was funny

    Imagine a guy who can get all those names right but not someone’s pronouns

    “Mike Rogers” is also rather an odd name to a Native American too, so go back to your own country mate.
