[Opinions] Re: Purposefully mispronounced names
I pronounce Joel like that. It's the regular German pronunciation of the name and the only one I like. I didn't know it was considered wrong.I hate the Italian Gi- thing as well. It's luckily not as common, but what I hate even more is that I know a Guiliana who pronounces her name joo-lee-AH-nah. It doesn't even make any sense.

Well, if I'd see it, I'd pronounce it gwil-ee-AN-a. Since when is "gui" pronounced as "joo"? Seems her parents got it confused with Giuliana.
