P o e t i q R e i g n
Greensboro, NC
Whose name up here did u think was pronounced one way...& pronounced it like that 4 a good MIN...until someone told u otherwise....?? D.Ham hit me up on the telly yesterday...we were talking...& i found out Tiarea's name isn't pronounced how it looks - "tee-ah-ree-uh"...but instead, like "Tiara" ("tee-air-uh") 4 the LONGEST, i was pronouncin' "Demmeri"..."DEM-urr-ee"....i STILL pronounce it like that....but rod says "dem-AIR-ee"....i like that way better, but it still looks like "dem-urr-ee" 2 me....so maybe Demmeri/Nick can clear that up 'cuz i still have no idea which way is the right way... Jamila...was, up until maybe a year ago...thinking her name was "juh-mill-uh"........then again, D.Ham corrected me, lol...& found out it's "juh-mee-luh".... this doesn't have to do with pronunciation necessarily, but in the verrrryyy beginning...like 2 summers ago...i kept callin' rod "rodney"...instead of "roderick"....& he kept having 2 correct me, lol....& even after he did, he STILL looked more like a "rodney" 2 me than what he is....lol, but now he looks like his name..... 4 a while, i kept confusing Carrie (Poody) & Chantel (TipToes) :-(......'cause they're both female athletes....both have names that start with a "C".....& both i SWEAR be havin' like a MILLION aim s/ns......i gotta keep remembering which one is "no1bangbang"...& which one is "hurdlequeen"..... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....tryna remember who else's name i've messed up....'cause i KNOW it's been a few otherz.....but anywayz, i'll be back whenever i think of some more....

Damn, for real...I've thought it was TIA-REE-AH too.
****...I did too...and I always was thinkin like dang her name is ****, why would her parents let her name rhyme with diarhea :???: . But when I found out it was prounounced TIARA and not the way it looks I was like, oh aight...cool... And my name, Im use to getting mispronounced. Everyone thinks everything wrong but what is right...Its not Juh-mill-a, Ja-MY-la :x, Ja-Mel-uh....its pronounced JA-ME-LA (Jamila ).

yeah, whatever y'all. we all see things different. i think it's always obvious when you hear it everyday since birth. to me, it's "obviously": Tee-AH-ree-uh (unnecessary vowel), DEH-marie, Juh-MILL-uh, RAH-duh-rick (unnecessary vowel), Juh-ME-uh, MON-tay (or even MONT but not MON-tee)... "that's not how you spell Sierra, that's Ki-ar-uh." :x so, what do y'all think "Obialo" should sound like, lol?

Juh-mill-uh
:x :x :x JUH-ME-LA....its not that hard. If my name was pronounced JUH-MILL-UH...I would have an H at the end of my name....I know a JU-Mill-Uh, and she spelled her name Jamilah...while mine is Jamila.

Well I was more or less pronouncing everyone's name right. Learning people's names is the hard part for me though. What I don't get is how people see my name and say it wrong. You switch around two letters and people forget how to read. It is especially bad when the -i and -y can take on the same sound n the English language, so what's so difficault.
