Quote: Fantastic Mr Catpiss "well, funnily enough it was INGA the winger that first brought this to my attention since there wasn't an N in his first name Va'aigia'"
I always assumed it was due to his surname which is pronounced Tu-inga-mala rather than his forename. It could be either or both I suppose.
Some names from this part of the world have similar pronunciation trip hazards too like the 'mh' in celtic gaelic names such as Niamh and Mhairie which is pronounced as 'v' or the Scots name Menzies (pronounced Mingis) due to a no longer used letter in the Scots alphabet that is today written as 'nz' but is still pronounced.
