We were discussing a person who's name happened to be Nga so I imagine they just read it without giving it much thought while the rest of us we're like "what just happened" "did she really". She apologized so no biggie right?

Now...i cant imagine what it must be for the people calling their name out loud in public. Like "Nga your order ir ready for pick up" and stuff like that.

How would you even pronounce that name? Like Ehnga?

So for the record how do you pronounce Nga? I've never heard it spoken out loud that I'm aware of.

I'd pronounce the "Ng" like in "sing". It's a sound not found at the start of syllables in English, but it's common enough in other languages - that's not to say it's actually the case for that particular name, but it would be my first guess.

Sounds like a reasonable misunderstanding on her part, hopefully the audience was understanding
