Anantanarayanan
Indian jurist and author. John Updike enshrined his name in a poem. I don’t think his implied pronunciation was right, though: I believe it stresses the wrong syllables.
Csikszentmihalyi
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Hungarian-American psychologist. I used to run into his name frequently when I was editing psychology books. I had my own affectionate pronunciation for it, which wasn’t like this.
Esa-Pekka Salonen
The whole name, not just the last.
Finnish composer and conductor. Every time I hear his name spoken on the classical radio station, I think the host must be savoring his name. I think getting to say his name all the time might be a good enough reason to go into classical radio.
J.K. Rowling has her pluses and minuses as an author, but you have to grant that she shows a great love of names, both invented and adopted. She may go a bit too far with some (for instance, all those Latin given names among the Hogwarts faculty, as if they’d been named only after they got there, which, of course, they were), but her fascination with onomastics adds a lot of color and flavor to her stories.
Britain is full of (to me) amazing and delicious personal and place names. Just watching the credits roll by on a BBC production is almost like having a second dessert.
