All right, Dad.
So the other day, me and Yoko, we were talking about names for the baby's coming up, and Yoko wants to name her little girl that has a Japanese name, but a Japanese name that American people can also pronounce.
So I thought the best person to ask whether American people could pronounce it or not was you.
Oh jeez.
All right, so I got a couple here from Yoko that she's thinking about.
I'm going to give you the card, I want you to read off the name the way would you read it.
Okay.
So here is the first one.
Hikari.
Hikari.
Hi Curry.
So I got to let Yoko know, okay, so if you were to go with that one, first of all, everybody would just call her Carrie.
Carrie, okay, so Carrie might be the name.
Can you say Hikari?
I can't.
So what I know is if soon because she lives in America, everybody's just going to get rid of that HI, and it'll just be Carrie, because Carrie is a very popular name in America.
That's true.
Okay, so Carrie.
Okay, so.
Or karaoke.
All right, how about how about this one right here?
How would you read that?
Kanon.
You want to say that again?
Kana.
Oh, man, I thought you might say like Cannon or something like that, but uh, you're actually pretty close.
Kanon.
Kanon.
Is that tough for American people?
Forget it.
Forget.
Okay, that's not going to work.
All right, scratch that, that ain't going to work.
Um, how about this one last one?
Mary.
Oh, Mary.
You are you're not even reading the word, you're skipping the first two words here.
Hey, Mary.
Hey.
So I I don't think this is going to work either.
So it's Himari.
Can you.
Himari.
Oh, there you go.
See you can do it if you tried, but nobody else would do it.
Yeah, no, so this one would be like the other one, like Hikari, this one would be like, Mary.
Nobody's going to do it.
Nobody's going to do it.
Um, so of the three, if you had to pick, Kanon, Hikari and Himari, which one would you go with?
Ozzy Osborne.
Well, there you go, Yoko.
We'll call her Ozzy.
That's going to be the name of your kid.
