How do you pronounce that name? Search Challenges

  • This site provides a way to learn name pronunciation. Searching for names presents some unique challenges. How often do we have to guess at the pronunciation of a name, let alone the spelling? According to a news article in the Wall Street Journal, this site has " amassed 11,000 pronunciations ranging from Aabha to Zwai". The site's creator, Elizabeth Bojang ( pronounced Bojohng) works with a tape-recorder asking people to pronounce their names. This is obviously a labor of love, and an interesting peek into how the Internet can spawn personal projects that can help us all.

    Whether you are a nurse registering patients, a customer service representative with client lists, or a member of the media with a story to break, our site can help you learn how to pronounce people's names. This is a free resource that anyone can use.
