Lady Penelope, I think your name would be more properly pronounced
Pee...knee...low...pee, or Penny...lowpy.

Peeneelowpee would be best, as it lends itself more readily to limericks.


How about Michael? Mi chay ell. Not Mykal
Thomas       Tho mass/thom ass. Not Tomass, anyway.
Peter       Pet er. Not Peeter
Matthew      Matt hew. Not Mathew, unless spelled that way.
Luke         Lukky/luhkh. Not Loouk
Everyone's name has certain recognised pronunciations, the spelling notwithstanding. Ralph is just one with a specifically English pronunciation.
