My friend's name was Buglione - Boo-glee-oh-nee. Close, but I have no idea how to write out how gli sounds in Italian since we have NOTHING that is close in English. It is more similar to the LL in Spanish or LH in Portuguese.KrisComment

As tongue-twisted as our last name is, it's actually a somewhat simplified version. Also, DH, his brother and his parents all have different spellings courtesy of the immigration officials.
Russian has a sound that's same as "gli" so it's funny when I can pronounce some Italian menu items more correctly than American waiters.Comment

My maiden name (Italian) ends with a "chi" and we pronounce it "key" but most people pronounce it like chee.
Coincidentally DH's family's favorite pizza place is my maiden last name and it's like nails on a chalkboard when they and their neighbors say the name.

I am Norwegian and my grandparents Americanized the spelling of my maiden name when they immigrated over. Thus, people used to misspell my last name all the time.Married to a peds surgeon attendingComment

True story: there's a sleep specialist here that has the same first and last name.
Spelled exactly the same.
