Name Pronunciation

All about name pronunciation. Is there a proper pronunciation of a name or is it relative? Jennifer and Mallory talk about how pronunciation can be geographic and ethnographic, and how mispronuncing names can be egregious and a form of aggression. We also read name stories from our fans on Reddit and Facebook, report on the current celebrity baby news and take letters from our listeners.

Names mentioned in this episode: Lupine, Zennifer, Megan, Dana, Miranda, Jaime, Lana, Cecily, Maisie, and more!
