SC - Names (OT)

[Huette von]

I personally think that however good the heralds
are they will always massacre names, because they
really just want to keep us humble.

Mistress Huette Aliza von und zu Ahrens und (Hew-et'-teh Ah-lee'-tza
vahn unt tzu Air'-wrens unt)
Mechthildberg
(Mekt'-hilt-berg)

Even a herald with a German person mispronounced my
name.  The only part he got correct was Mistress.
Sigh!
