• Chaucer-- my future child shan't be a fancy trader in the 19th century, now shall he?
  • Dancer-- repeat after me: Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen are not good role models for a young girl
  • Floortje-- see FLOR-tyeh, FLUR-teh, FLORJ, and alternatively, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to say this?"
  • Wales-- whales.
  • Alexei-- even I do not know whether it's uh-LEX-ay or uh-LEX-eye or wHaT.
  • Firth-- oh dear. what have I done? sounds like girth???
  • Noortje-- just like Floortje
  • Dahlya-- well now doesn't this look made up? the alternate spelling, however well-meaning, is a prOBLEM
  • I shall add to this list as they come to me
