I like it. My city had a baseball player named Raul several years ago, and you could tell the announcer loved saying his name. He'd drag out the u sound. Then the fans started doing it too, and it sounded like everyone in the stadium was trying to howl like a wolf.

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
