    Can someone spell it out phonetically becasue its really irritating me.

    Ive tried saying it as it is spelt but it just doesnt sound right.

    Why couldnt his folks just have called him 'Sid' or something nice and simple.

    I wonder how he was when he could spell his name, 28 maybe? :yep

    Any help would be appreciated!!

    Thanks

    Wonjongkam isn't his real name of course.

    It IS how It's spelt but I'll try and help: Pong-Sa-Kleck Won (to rhyme with gone rather than 'I've won the match)) Jong-Kam (as in the beginning of 'camera)

    You think that's bad? Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym was one where I took one look and there's no way I was going to try and pronounce it.
