Here’s a fun one: Warren Harding’s middle name was Gamaliel, which I’ve often heard rendered in English as guh-MAY-lee-ull. If there’s a wax cylinder somewhere with a recording of the man himself pronouncing it, I imagine that’s how he’d say it. (The original is gaam-LEE-el. I’m not sure how the extra syllable in the English version got there.)

That is fun! Ah and you've just reminded that "Levi" fits here, too.
