If you have a hard time pronouncing “Jamaal,” I hope you never have to pronounce some of those Eastern European names! Of course, Bob’s problem is that “Jamaal” doesn’t sound “American” enough for him, so he’s annoyed by that. He’s probably thinking, “Why can’t you just call yourself ‘Jimmy’?”

I can relate. The only two places where people could actually pronounce my last name correctly? The United Kingdom and India.

Seven kids and two parents, that totals the first nine pronunciations of our last name.

Heck, people mispronounce my last name and it’s Ruth. I’ve gotten; Roth, Ruff, Root, Roof and others I’ve forgotten.

Jamaal should just say, Right, and go back to the kitchen. I think this guy is trouble.

Name your kid something unspellable & unpronounceable so they can grow up annoyed that no one can say or spell their name.

He meant “Beelzebub”.
