> In the college dorm I live in, everyone has their names affixed on the door in various ways, depending on the hall they live on. For example, on my old there were laminated message boards with our names that people could write on. On my new hall, there are just square pieces of pastel paper with the names. *Anyway*... next to one name I saw in parentheses the name of Eunhye. That has to be one of the most unpronouncable names I have ever come across. At least, I have no idea how I would pronounce it. I'm sure that the fantasy name generator would never return something like that. (I do think the name Eunhye is interesting, however. Just one I would never use in my writing, for example, lest readers spend all their time figuring out how to pronounce the name in their heads as they read it and no time at all paying attention to the story.)

Hmm. Well, I looked in my name books and on babynames.com but I couldn't find anything about it.

As for how to pronounce it...your guess is as good as mine.

Qua "Is it pronounced Yoo-nee?" rtz
