Last name when telling your (plug in name here)

Mine went something like.. “Hey hun, we got that #1 QB recruit DJ Oogly Googly today!

TigerNet is going to have to publish a story with a phonics lesson just on how to properly pronounce his last name!

I've seen it broken down phonetically multiple


May 6, 2019, 2:08 PM [ in reply to Re: Roll call for how many others butchered DJ’s ]

ways and I've heard two different recruiting gurus on podcasts pronounce it two different ways.

And i can barely even pronounce it correctly without getting tongue-tied using your phonetic breakdown.

Sorry Belton - that will not help me. Maybe call him the "U" guy or something. I'll never master that name. As a retiree, we longer have to learn new stuff.

I practiced yesterday for the conversation with my two bama coworkers.

If David Hood had it right, I nailed it.

Of course they wouldn't know if I did or not.

Guilty as charged

I've been trying since last year, and I think I might have it now. I also was butchering Phommachahn's name too.

If I told you once, I told you a thousand times, It's pronounced thermometer.

Been pronouncing it:
You-ga-lay-lay

But he says it like:
We-onga-la-lay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=KNDzc_0_cg4

Gotta get used to saying it right.

Re: * raises hand

With the accent on the last syllable: we-onga-leh-LAY.

The g's like it is in "singer", not like in "longer".

There's a very little "oo" sound at the very beginning of his name.

So five or six syllables, it appears, depending on the weight of that first "oo".
