       One of my coworkers has an "urban" name.  I have no idea how to pronounce it.  After two months, I haven't heard anyone say it, so I discretely asked one of the black guys.He says he doesn't know either and just says "Hey".

       @tj I would have gone with the Japanese pronunciation:Kai (like the "ki" in kite)Ra (Chef Ramsey's favorite complaint)KAI-RA

       @Dan_Ramos That was my first guess, but some people are very sensitive about how their name is pronounced, even when the pronunciation has little to do with the spelling.I figure if the black guy isn't willing to risk it, I shouldn't either.

       @tj I in a moment when my filter dropped asked k-lemon whoes name was kevin with a L & M in there why his parents named him such a dumb shit name. He's response was he didn't know, which I appreciate because this was at work.
