| I never really thought about it being pronouced german even though i knew it was german....though i mispronouce a lot of things..... so i usually either just say yorkie. or parti yorkie. or german buu*mumble*mumble* yorkie. [I'm not sure if Somi is actually a Biewer or a Parti] but i think i tried to pronounce it more like viewer with a b. I understand the w being pronounced with a v...but where does the r go? Why isn't it Beevaar? I get irritated when people add the emphasis wrong in Joli's name...it's based on the Korean word for sleepy but people like to try to pronounce it like Jolie which is French. And i'm pretty sure most people don't know what I say when I say Somi. I think a lot of people think her name is sony. (Also Korean based, for cotton ball/little beauty, depending on where you break up the syllables.) So I can't even imagine actual complicated names. My name is super easy and people get that wrong. And my BF has to spell Choi everytime someone needs it. Like really? you can't spell Choi? lol.

| I was never sure how to pronounce it and never had much occasion to because I've never seen one around here. But I THOUGHT it would be like this ~ "Bee War'. Shows you how smart I am.

| Before joining YT last year, I never knew of them and seeing the word, would have thought it pronounced "Bee were" or if German, perhaps "Bee ver". My sound isn't loud enough to tell what the woman keeps saying over & over - is it "Biva" - sounds like that but I just can't make that vid sound any louder. She sure says it a lot, whatever she is saying.

Thanks! Now I like my name but it was a trial growing up in the south. Of course my maiden name did not help. I was called Ginger quite often! The name means believer. I do try with names..most people are ok if you try.

| Is that the correct pronunciation? I still haven't figured out what really is correct.

I have the same problem with my married name. People always pronounce the "e" EA and drop the "g" which makes a whole different word

| But isn't that how Fuki is normally pronounced? How else would you say it?

Japanese people have a really difficult time with R's also. It' comes out like an L. Like they cannot say refrigerator.

| LoL! I've no idea how some people might pronounce that-even though we heard it and almost tinkled in our pants over an older lady (like 70+) saying it wrong! I think they might say the first part and then make the I a separate syllibol and pronounce it as an eeee
