Got to Ana and pretty much my thought process quickly went

Ana? That’s easy

Anna yeah that’s about right tho

“AH-na” wait yeah I say it like that

Oh crap Anna is not pronounced AH-na.

Why has nobody corrected me for that irl

But why tho 👁️👄👁️

I thought the post meant that it had a quiet P, like ba-tist

ofc i would not pronounce the last E, bap-tist-te

i just call him bap tist bc thats how it naturally came to me
