Trivia: How to pronounce "gif"

[W Brewer]

<<<If you want to name your kid Dwyane instead of Dwayne like Dwyane Wade,
go ahead (but it's still pronounced duh-wayne).>>>
WB:  When my daughter Katie was old enough to travel, we got her U.S. & ROC
passports. The Taiwanese bureaucrats spelled her English alias <AKTIE>. So,
for six years, whenever we traveled, we called her [ACK-Thai].
