Nico Iamaleava last name pronunciation

[ERvolsfan]

Let's be honest in the south it will come out sounding like lee vs lay.

So the way I learned it was

ee-ah-molly-ahvuh

 

[TennEddie]

He needs a “ nickname “.

 

[barknoxbrawler]

He needs a “ nickname “.

Nico, “our Uncle Rico”.

 

[volfanhill]

I will stick to Niko

 

[Sara Clark]

What a tongue twister.

Reason # 147930643 I'm glad I'm not a broadcaster.

 

[ERvolsfan]

I get it he will simply just be called Nico

But it's actually pretty easy to pickup

 

[Orange&White]

I respect the young man and I will try my best to pronounce his last name correctly, but I have watched that video over and over trying to learn the phonetics over here. I pronounce it differently about every time. I think I will be sticking with "Nico" myself.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Pacific Islanders pronounce each vowel.

 

[norrislakevol]

I am just sad that it's not pronounced "Ima Leava". Would have been great when he scored on a run and dropped the ball in the end zone to say "Ima Leava this right here!" It's the simple things in life that make me happy, what can I say.

 

[TAF]

Love Bob Kesling.... But I can't wait to hear his pronunciation

 

[GAVol]

Just gloss over that first vowel and say “Yama-layava”.

Lmao, I looked up the pronunciation one time, because I don’t like to mispronounce names.. However, my dad still just says “Lamalava”, and when Guarantano was QB he would say “Guantanamo”… Please tell me I’m not the only one with a dad like this

Once my dad mispronounces something, that's it. He will continue that mispronuciation until doomsday. He still pronounces Roku as "the rookoo". It's been like 5 years.

Kessling just had a stroke watching this.
