Mum wishes she had given her three-month-old baby son a
different name: 'Absolutely no one can pronounce it'
An Australian mum said she wishes she had given her baby son
a different name
Elli, whose son's name is Seth, said people in Australia
find it hard to pronounce
. . .
Eh ???
Apparently Aussies cannot handle this simple name.
Perhaps like some asian cultures cannot do "R"s
properly and substutute "L's ... they literally
do not hear "R"s, it's as alien to them as those
"click"- languages from south-central Africa
sound to English speakers.
But "Seth" is a fairly common name in the USA,
not sure how Oz missed-out on "Seth"s ...
