Leah Remini. Remini to me is Reh-Me-Ni with the “stress” on the second syllable when her name is REH-mini. I never knew this until recently although I have been in love with her for twenty years.

Never seen this show but the family of 19 Kids and counting, the Duggars. Why, I don’t know, I always pronounced the name DOO-Gard, when it is Dug-gar. Why I thibk DOO-Gar, can’t say.

Any other examples?

Saoirse Ronan which is pronounced SEER-sha Ro-nan

I used to call her Sore-See Ronan.
