i had a student named Ahnasty, pronounced Honesty!

Liam is a fairly common Irish name, but we say LEE-yum when he comes to visit our church ?

Dorcas was actually used quite often before it had the connotations it does now. I've met several of them. They're usually 60+

I worked with a woman named Muffin. Not a nickname. It was the name on her birth certificate

Just took care of a Graylynn and a Jsyiah (pronounced similiarly to Josiah)... I had to have her repeat it twice because I thought I missed a letter.
