[Opinions] Re: What's the strangest name you've ever run to irl?
in reply to a message by Story
A part of me is so intrigued by the strangeness of Jreaux, but the poor child will always have to correct people.
For me it was Thailleh, supposedly pronounced as Tyler.

Jreaux actually looks straightforward compared to Thailleh 💀
Yeah, I thought Jreaux was horrible at first. After I read Thailleh, I looked back at Jreaux and all of a sudden was like, this name is much more attractive.
Thailleh pronounced like Tyler sounds like it was given by someone with a non-rhotic accent. Still horrible, of course.
I was thinking this too! It definitely makes it a little more sensible, but not by much...
