Matthew in french is "Mathieu"

Matheau would sound like "Mah-toe" but would actually be spelled "Matteau" in french. Matteau is a french last name.

^ I know! It took me a solid 3 minutes of reading her name plate over and over to figure out what it was meant to be.

[Edited on January 14, 2010 at 12:28 PM. Reason : and it was "Ravyshyng" ...since no one reads the last post]

side rant: I hate when people try to make up frenchy names (among other cultures) and have them end up completely stupid.

D'angelo becomes "Dee-anjelo?" Hell no idiot, first of all, it'd be pronounced "Danjelo." Second of all, "angelo" is not a god-damned french word.

Di Angelo, sure

[Edited on January 14, 2010 at 12:30 PM. Reason : wait, it looks like D'angelo is a legit last name.. I hope they pronounce it correctly]

[Edited on January 14, 2010 at 12:31 PM. Reason : and how the hell do you get "farve" out of "Favre?" favre = favruh]

1/14/2010 12:26:26 PM

since surnames have been around for centuries, i think they get a pass

1/14/2010 12:34:21 PM

yeah but you think someone in the FAGG family tree would have pulled an ocho cinco at some point along the way

I think everyone I've ever met has told me that story.

My very good friend's last name is D'Angelo and she is Italian. She pronounces it Di Angelo. However, when she lived in Burke County as a kid, her name was once called over the PA as Dangle-o.

Tukeyla waited on me at a TGIFriday's once/

1/14/2010 7:45:01 PM

along with the lemonjello and oranjello names, another running joke is the kid named Shithead, pronounced "shih theed"

1/14/2010 7:45:22 PM

1/14/2010 8:44:11 PM

Sharodkar...it's pronounced "Cherica."

1/14/2010 10:16:51 PM

Well, somebody beat me to "Shithead" (pronounced shi - theed). LaDynasty is another strange one. I guess those aren't really bad spellings , but they're so odd I have to wonder sometimes....

I've interacted with the elusive Ravyshyng, and she's cool.

Her name has made it into other threads on here, and I almost called bullshit like I do on the Lemonjello, Orangello, Female, Nosmo King stories that get passed around...but sure enough, she's the real deal.

Ravyshyng really isn't that wild when you think about it.

1/14/2010 11:38:55 PM

How the fuck do you pronounce that?

1/15/2010 12:21:00 AM

Not common names but My manager's last name is Griesiedick and my peer's first name is Butt
