Names that are bad with regional accents.

Where we live Violet become Vaa'let which doesn't sound very nice at all. DH is Aussie so some names were a no go...such as Esme....became Is-My.

I live in norfolk so any names with a T in the middle is a write off, as they never get pronounced nicely...lottie, katie etc!

I am from Staffordshire, but live in the west of Scotland. Somehow, when I say 'Sarah', Scottish people hear 'Server'! Pardon!?!

Rosie and Sophie in coronation st land - Rawsi and Sawfi

oh and that accent that someone else mentioned - posh but lazy south- eastern accent where Arlo becomes Ar-lay

I worked with a Scottish girl in Oxford, she was called Jane, when she introduced herself everyone would say 'Jean'.

We did get used to it.

I'm fascinated that 'Carl' and 'Pearl' are difficult, we need to have sound samples as well as photos on the profiles.

Colina in West Mids - "Kleena". Poor kid. Wasn't a marvellous name to start, bless her.
