Last Names

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

This is a COMPLETELY random topic but I've noticed that the last names of the E3 contestants seem harder than the others

Antonio Iannicelli: Okay, what the heck is going on here, no clue how to say that.

Willa Zhou: I used to say "zow" but since I'm in Chinese class I know it sounds more like "joe"

Bjorn Leum: "Loom" or "Loym:?

Alex Reid: Maybe it's just cause I'm not that bright...but I always pronounced her last name "ride" and only just recently realized that it's "reed". Lol

Kareem Nugent: No clue. Lol.

Monroe Gierl: Not confusing to pronounce, but just...hard to say.

Bryanah Bascon: BASK-in or buh-SCON?

Chris Vanderweir: Does it rhyme with wire or deer?

Lindi Oest: O-est? Oyst?

Again, completely random, but it just struck me as an unusual coincidence. xD

I think Iannicelli is pronounced I-ann-e-cell-e, but I pronounce it I-an-e-cell-i.

Nugent is pronounced Noo-gent.

My guess is that Bascon is pronounced Bask-in as well.

I think that Vanderweir rhymes with deer, and Oest is O-est.

The rest I have no idea of.

I once heard from a reliable source that Oest is said like west. It's actually the French word for West.
