Deabalik {dee-ah-BAH-leek} - I (potentially*) feel sorry for this guy sounds too much like Diabolic for him not to get a life-time of the mickey being taken out of him.

*Assuming US kids have just as much a cruel, name-calling streak as they do over here.

The main "problem" I would see from this trend is the difficulty in judging the correct pronunciation of the name from the written word and in remembering the correct spelling (how many different spellings of Darren did I see as a child). I've known people get very upset when their names are mis-pronounced and this certainly isn't going to improve it for people like that.

Of course I'm not saying that regular names don't have the same problem:

Anthony was always pronounced Antony or Ant-hony, with a very slight h sound, it was never pronounced Anth-ony.
