3. Thanks, but I'm still not having any luck.
Let me try again:

Tom?

Steve?

Harry?

Dammit!

I think my tongue is already too tied down with the English language to ever be able to pronounce something like that. That guy looked like a human beatbox saying that.

6. You left out Dick - maybe that is it?
Or maybe it is Rumplestiltskin or Engleberg Humperdink.

No help at all, I'm afraid.

5. I tink that's Merry Christmas in Finnish.
Eee-Yah-Fyaaaah-laaah-yoouuukull.

like that. How do you phonetically say an 'o' sound after a 'y' is 'oh' and not 'ow!' ?

That's what I mean.
