    So, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, then

    I have never heard his name pronounced, so when I look at it, I am instantly reminded of this.

    Was this meant to be in Football? Can't follow the link at work, so I don't know what it is.

    I've known some Cuauhtemocs, but they went by "Temoc" or "Temo". At UCLA, I met a few people with indigenous or Aztec names--I'm guessing their parents were part of the Chicano movement in the 60s and 70s, and decided to give their children native names and not Spanish ones. They were proud of their names too, but got annoyed when teachers mangled them. But hell, I'd have trouble pronouncing Xochitl.

      We had an author at my job whose first name was the awesome Netzualcoyotl, which means something like hungry coyote.

          Inca - I put it in World deliberately because it's about a footballer, but not really about the sport. The clip is from The Fast Show. It was a sketch called 'The Unpronounceables', which is a spoof of 'The Untouchables'.
