    Why did you use the Bama logo? They don't have anyone in their fanbase that can pronounce his name correctly either.

    is that actually even accurate? my college roommate was from hawaii and he said the rule of thumb is to pronounce every vowel... and that's not doing that

    if that rule is accurate, it would be "tah-go-vah-ee-loa"

    I mean it's pretty disrespectful to fuck up someone's name like that and it's kind of your job to know how to pronounce it

    Often in Polynesian languages when you have a g you have an n sound preceding it. Also t can sound like c. For instance, one of my friends name is Togi, he’s Samoan, it’s pronounced Coney.
