A name that sets my teeth on edge every time I even think about it is Picabo, as in Picabo Street (the skier...or former skier now, perhaps?). Is it pronounced like it looks, pih-KAH-bow (bow as in bow and arrow), which would be nothing more than unusual? No; acc'g. to the sportscaster, her parents thought it would be cute to pronounce it peekaboo. [gnashing teeth e]
EDIT: just noticed this ad below, ending in:

Is disposophobia a real word?
