In high school I knew a girl named Liisa. Pronounced just like Lisa, but spelled differently enough that she had to correct everyone, everywhere, every day. What is the point?
I still remember going to kindergarten with a girl and her little brother. They were African, and their names were Chika Chukudebelu and Chukudum Chukudebelu. Twenty years later I am still fascinated by those names...anyone know what language they might be from?
