I think the misspelled names have been spotted.

Not listed but closely known to me:

David - Dah-Veed

Rigaud - Ree-go

Eschete' - Esch-Tay

My aunt's in-laws once asked her how she like living in Thib-a-Docks.

I have relatives named Rene', Emile, Aurelie, Hansell, Aubenia, Odette, and Lydia (pronounced Lee-Jah, y'all), etc.

LSU has had some notable French-named players such as Garland Jean-Baptiste and Ricky Jean-Francois, and a fullback whose given name was Chaille (pronounced Shelly). I do find it irritating when the professional athletic event announcers can't even get LeBlanc right. C'Mon man, you're getting paid - do a little homework.
