Just pronounced this guy's name as Man-YOO-ell JEW-arr-ezz.
Seriously? We live in Southern California... you don't know how to pronounce Manuel Juarez?

Manuel I kinda get. I always second guess myself and over think it... man-you-ell or man-well.
But she can't pronounce Juarez? Really? I'm in rural PA and I know that one.
On a related note, I was at the grocery store over the weekend and the cashier kept calling the customer Jesus. As in, Jeez-us... not hey-zeus. A little kid overheard and was all beside himself... Mommy! Look! That guy is Jesus!
It was funny.

She seriously stumbled and stuttered over it too.
Oh and she just hada "HOOM-bear-toe Moe-TAA?"
All in that nasal whine battery acid voice of hers..... *stab stab stab*

I lived in San Francisco for a while years ago and it blew my mind at first when I heard how Jorge was pronounced. I had heard the name said Hor-hay but did not realize that was how it was spelled. I was saying George (luckily not to the person but to a coworker who knew I was fresh from Boston and corrected me).
Also Joaquin was an eye-opener. Jesus as well.
Not a Spanish origin name but Siobhan blew me away too.
OMG how have I never noticed how many names she butchers??
TROO-jill-ohh
Siobhan threw my mind the first time too.

Siobhan is an odd one. H was all confused when there was a girl named Siobhan on American Idol a few years ago. He couldn't figure out why Seacrest was saying sha-vahn when he saw her name on the screen. I had to educate him.
Georg is another good one. It took me the longest time to realize it was pronounced gay-org. I heard the name on the Sound of Music and I've seen the name in writing, but I never put them together. I thought it was a weird spelling for George.
