> 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

Heh. I decided on a whim to run a search for "Eunhye" on Google. It turned up a bunch of pages located in Korea. Apparently the name's Korean, then.

Not that that helps me to actually *pronounce* it, though. Judging from what pronunciation guides to Korean I could find, it looks as if it should be pronounced "un-h'yeah", though I'm honestly not really sure.

I still think "yoonee" or "yoon-high" sounds better, but that's just me. :)
