Do not laugh too hard! I am an old OB nurse, we actually had a local woman name her twins Lemonjello and Orangejello...pronounced with a French accent! And beware her wrath if someone pronounced them without the accent. A good friend of mine was working in a dermatology office when the boys were young. She picked up the charts and went to the waiting room to call them back. She pronounced it Lemon Jello and Orange Jello and the mother went off on her! True story as I live and die, I would not make this up. My personal favorites were Vageena and Urethra.
