(which was what the post he replied to was about)

But the 'a' in 'name' depends on your accent.. there are people who might
say "noime" which would make it totally wrong.

The actual sound is the short "e" sound or if you have a dictionary, e with
a hacek on it (that little u thing)

like in "eh?" ;)
