[Opinions] Re: Names from YouTube video about names on r/tragedeigh PART 2/4
All are awful, make Icelynn look desirable. Tork is expesialy bad,sounds like Dork. Zzyzx- I've heard if before, named after a town in California. How do you say it? Handsome? What happens if the kid isn't handsome? When he grows up and gets married, will his wife introduce him to others as my handsome husband Handsome? And Eritrea, sounds pretty, but horrible country. I've also heard people are named Somalia and Iran.

According to wikipedia Zzyzx is pronounced zie-ziks
That's how the name of the California place is pronounced by those who live near it, but some of the children who have been given the name don't have parents who lived near the place and pronounce it zee-ziks, with the first syllable rhyming with "tea" instead of "tie".
