ML making fun of a Black woman's name. I wish I was surprised, but I'm not.

What are you talking about? Nobody here is making fun of her name.

I think it's an honest question, which is a respectful thing to ask if you don't know. I myself haven't been sure, because I've heard it pronounced multiple different ways even by news pundits.

No one is making fun. It’s not a common name and people want to make sure that pronounce it correctly.
