Okay trying to sum up your posts: you don't know much and have nothing of value to add to the thread and are somehow smug about this. |

Also apparently doesn't watch or listen to any chiefs games when the announcers call him "kell-see" 50 times per game.

To be fair (to be fair, to be fair), Your summation essentially (and accurately) apples to everyone posting here.

I bet it happens more often than you'd think. Mikko Rantanen is one of the Avs' players, and the official NHL pronunciation guide is "RANT-uh-nun." One of the announcers looked into the true Finnish pronunciation, which has a rolled R and is more of "ront". It was technically correct, but it just confused the hell out of everyone. Mikko himself has said that he doesn't care and would rather it just be easy for Americans to pronounce, so he's effectively adopted the "wrong" pronunciation.

I’m just saying my two cents. I in no doubt feel that I probably sound like a ****ing douche on this forum, but my family doesn’t give a shit that I pronounced it right this entire time tbh so who else should I share this newly found information with haha and I never even really paid attention to the idea that one way was correct and vice versa. That being said, it sounds like I’ve been wrong anyways because him and his family pronounce it Kelsey anyways and kelce is just the formality of the true name If I keep hearing people saying Kelsey I’ll probably pay just as much attention to the phrasing as i have done these past x amount of years. But I do concede my posts sound like shit. I didn’t even know this was a big deal with the pronunciation of his name anyways. |

You are allowed to determine the pronunciation of your own name.

So the team doesn't consult with the player before publishing the media guide?

Fantastic play by Kelces marketing team on this. Make up a stupid story during a slow news period and now it will get talked about every game this year. His brand stays winning.

I was in my 30s before I learned how my last name was most likely pronounced. I only discovered it by visiting with an elder who went to Germany many times to explore where our family came from. To make it even more interesting, he is deep in the genealogy stuff and explored several family line leads that led him to believe the name was originally Nordic and the spelling had been slightly changed in translation, so even the German pronunciation was obviously different from the original name. |

Somebody needs to remind KU basketball player Christian Braun how to pronounce his last name now.
Because it isn't "brown" |
