I just had to look at the hospital names

How would you pronounce these names (all girls)

Joyseraphine

Joee

Zy'Ajah

There was also a girl named Joey. The teacher in me is cringing at the sight of those first three. I am pretty good at pronouncing you-neek names but when I have gotten them wrong in the past, the students (HS) get really ticked. I want to tell them that if their parent had used their brain when picking a name, they wouldn't have so much frustration in their lives!

    Joyseraphine --Joy-sara-feen (?) Sounds like a drug

    Joee --Joey, I don't mind this one so much

    Zy'Ajah--Zi-Aje-a, I don't get the whole punctuation within a name...But, who I am I to talk, I have a random capital letter in the middle of my own name.

     Jalaih'ya--Jalaya? This one wouldn't be so bad if it was spelled somewhat decently.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
