At least those are easy to figure out how to pronounce.

Imagine the chaos when I had to call roll for the first time in the inner city of New Orleans.(I will slightly change the names to protect the identity of the innocent kids with idiots mom.

Leashinedra
Twaniqua
Gercia (pronounced Gerica)
Laterraella
Demon (he was indeed a demon)
Pharoah
Ziporiqua
Miraklulous
Couvouscea
Tahharrah
Verazanna ( it's a bridge name in another state. She was a gorgeous red haired ,freckled girl who was actually black. Such a gorgeous and cute kid).


Many names were spelling in ways that defied phonetics and parents and children alike were annoyed that I mispronounced them

Pit bull attacks
Revolutionary war land for sale
High school pranks involving rabbits
Girl named supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

This must be quite the town.
