I've never heard anyone say Bur-andon to the Brandon I used to know. How annoying that would be. My name has adjacent vowels like in the name Ariel, and it drives me crazy when people insert a Y sound between them, so I can see what you mean about being sensitive - I think that's why I dislike the Y in names like Aaliyah so, so much.

I still don't think "nasal" is the right word for it, though ... it's the L that goes up my nose in Merle.
