> > 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.)

> It is a very common name in Eastern Kentucky where I lived until I was 15. I knew a family of Eunhye's who lived at Combs, just outside of Hazard in Perry County. They were big people with straight black hair, but they didn't look anything like Koreans. People just assumed that they were from Poland. The father had a car repair and welding shop and the oldest boy worked in a coal mine until he was drafted. The other boys were in high school. I remember the only girl is the family as being mean as a snake. She pushed me backwards off a fence and almost killed me. I was about 10 or 12 and she was maybe 15.

Ha ha. Funny. I almost fell for it until you mentioned Hazard.

I always wondered why people say "it was when I was 10 or 12" and completely forget about 11.

Qua...
OLD MAN: It happened when I was 10 or 12, I can't remember.
KID: Um, do you mean when you were 11, Granpa?
OLD MAN: No, that's not it
