Oh my goodness, I pronounced that second name in my had as Be-Waddle-Eye and was so confused as to what it meant until I read speech impediment, and then it suddenly made more sense than before. Still a terrible, terrible name either way.

I did the same thing, except I initially read it as "Bwaud-lie"
