curious to see what ethnicity the last name Tunkara belongs to
>>24425754
Probably low-en-guard-ay.
My last name is price. Pretty plain desu senpai.
>>24425842
Good Welsh name that
>>24425754
I think it's pronounced Lungard.
Mine is Lambert. Proncounced in the French way.
>>24425832
>Tunkara
>http://forebears.io/surnames/tunkara
apparently it's most common in Gambia and Sierra Leone. You a blackbot, anon?
Is Ausano any good?
Porhola. Exactly as it looks. Bet guessing the nationality is easy af.
>>24425878
>French way
which is?
probably not an original comment and shit
>>24425893
>Ausano
Sounds cool, but your first name better not be shit though
>>24425754
Jimmerson
>live in non white part of us
>stick out like hell
>>24425917
First names Lorenzo so I guess I got it pretty good
>>24425914
>Porhola
Sounds like Andy Warhol's last name before it was Americanized, Warhola, and he was Slovakian, so is that it?
>>24425987
Varhola, I meant, not Warhola.
>>24425966
Yeah, you're good, but Lorenzo is just a syllable too long to really fit Ausona imo
>>24425885
>sierra leone
bingo,
dad is from there and mum is from Liberia which is a neighbour country to Sierra Leone
>>24425914
Huehue-ian?
My last name comes from the Russian for "black", I guess that's kinda cool
>>24425987
No you dipshit. It's Finnish.
>>24426145
How was I supposed to guess that? I think you overestimate how much anyone knows/cares about different cultures/etc.
>>24425917
>which is?
The T is silent, and the 'am' sounds like, well there is no English equivalent but it's a single sound.
>lionguard
>>24426288
>>24425818
>reading ability
The "O" comes before the "E", anons. It's okay, try again.
>>24426245
Can you make a vocaroo of its pronunciation? I don't get it.
Loon-Guard-Uh
Also try to guess which ethnicity Windham is.
Last name is Ploeger (rhymes with ogre. I used to tell people this for pronunciation, but then shrek became a meme so that went out the window)
pronouncing it isn't that bad, though some people are absolute retards and can't sound out words. Having to spell it to people is a nightmare, because they always miss the first e.
>>24426358
>Windham
Sounds pretty english anonand don't you go lying to me that it isn't https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windham

I'm terribly curious how you anons would pronounce "avant garde"
>>24426643
Thought the oe was in place of an Umlaut.

wtf? is your first name smith?
>>24426941
>wtf? is your first name smith?
No. But my first name would also work as a last name actually. You could reverse my name and get something completely normal. There are some other funny things about it but I'm not going to mention it for fear of being identified.
My last name is Diallo
>>24427036
cool. hispanic?
>>24427000
I'm sick of anons withholding interesting things because of thinking anyone cares
Savary
It's a pretty old name, there was a french general under Napoleon called Anne Jean Marie Rene Savary,
Also my mom's maiden name was Lebourgeois. Way to be catalogued at birth.
Korluk.
I'm Croatian.
It means "the dark one" in Turkish.

>tfw no clan

>tfw as far back as I can trace it, came from nowhere (wasn't even a black guy)
I think one of my ancestors was cut out from his family or something. maybe fled Europe, was a criminal.
>>24427224
it was more likely a nigger
>>24427280
welp, can I pull the race card now?
>>24427222
I don't see why we would lie about this stuff
>>24427364
which is the exact reason why people do lie
The name's Smith
J Smith
>Georgiev
My last name is Conner, which is better than some shit you can't pronounce I suppose.
>>24425754
I'm guessing it's Danish in origin? In which case it it should be pronounced Luhn-yard-uh.
>>24425754
>also last name thread. r8 h8 particip8.
Michaelsson - pronounced Mikkelsen.
My last name is Bucket. At first glance, how do you think it's pronounced?

>Ashkenazi name that only a few dozen people in the world have
Only like 5 of my ancestors survived the 1910's pogroms in Russia. Then the chucklefucks at Ellis Island gave them them all bastardized spellings of our last name.
>>24425754
The correct pronunciation would be something along the lines of "Lewn-gart-ah" with "ewn" being pronounced like the word "ew" but with an n.
I'm guessing you pronounce it as either "Len-guard", or "Lane-guard."
Armstrong

My last name is "German".
I'm not even German.
My last name is Sak?, what kind of association is it give you?

Coolidge,Dial,or Hittson.My great-grandfather's last name was Dorner so I am hoping to switch to that soon.Dial is my stepfather's name,but I go by Coolidge.
>tfw people ask if I'm of any relation to Calvin Coolidge.
>>24430878
nope, my brother does though
Kohn
Pretty sure it's basically a Germanized "Cohen", but I could be wrong.
Mine is Kopec.
Dibble. Idek why it sounds so shitty and dumb exactly but it just does
Walkowski.
My name is honestly too rare to post. I've done a last name search and there's only about 30 people with it. I'm the only person in my state with it. You fags would easily find me
Where are my Franco's?
>>24425754
loon-gard
or low en gard
if you're being deliberate about it
Mine is Semkin. Pretty rare, only like 40 of them in the US, and they're all extended family that I've never met.
>>24426643
a-vahn-gard. Any other way is retarded Americanization.
Wallace
I kind of hate how plain my name is
Lopez (yes, I'm a spic )
>>24425754
Loon-guard
Also, Woods is my surname. feels average
Smirnov
>>24425754
McElmurray
It's Irish, pronounced mac-ELL-muh-ree. No one has ever gotten it right without me telling them, also there are only about 85 of us in America.
I'm only about a quarter mick actually.
>>24435795
Are you sure it's not Scottish, or Ulster Scots? Irish guy here, I've never heard of it and Murray is a common Scottish name, not Irish.
>Long
I'm not even asian.
>>24425754
Aurand
>Ar-and
Somehow no one gets it right. Supposedly it's bastardized French.
>>24435826
I did genealogy and my latest ancestor came to America from county Tyrone. It might be Ulster Scottish now that I think about it, I'm not sure. We have no family records past the guy who immigrated.
My last name is Dent. The amount of "Harvey Dent, can we trust him?" bullshit I get is through the fucking roof, I mean my first name isn't even Harvey.
Pace
pronounced:Pah-chay jk it's pay-sss
>>24435907
Aye, would make sense. Afaik, -erry and -urr(a)y sounds are far more common in Scottish names than Irish.
Cooley, it's Irish
Coo - Lee
Or
Cool - ee
Ammons
Its English I think. People sometime have to ask if their is one or two m's, which that type of thing is probably common with a lot of last names.
