Japanese would have a hard time with the "R", Arabs would have a hard time with the "o". Not "everyone" can pronounce Ronaldo.

Not "everyone" can pronounce Ronaldo.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoI argue that Ronaldo -> Ronardo is still much closer/more intelligible than, say, Vukašin -> Vukasin [especially if you pronounce it with american u and a and get [vakeisin].
- mahmud 14y agoOnly because of the two soccer players named Ronaldo whose name has been heard by every football fan on earth. There is nothing intrinsically "easy" about the name itself.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoMarco, Paolo or Carlo are even easier.
