I used to like it until someone pronounced my initials (DPE) as "Dippy".
Actually (man, this is going off-topic FAST), when I was a wee one of about 7
years old or so, my name betrayed me. My mom was "Moo-Moo". You'd be "Loo-Loo

The system worked great until I applied it to MY name. "Doo-Doo Poo-Poo Eoo-Eoo"
(pronounced "Ew! Ew!"). Oh yeah. That worked out well.

"PO-la-web-wull-BAY-oh-boob". Very classy.
