You: Hi Mrs Sark, how are you?
Mrs Sark: I'm well. Have you met my son Noah?
You Say: "As a matter of fact, yes."
You Think: Some people might not see the connexion.
Hello there. I'm Mr Walker and this is my daughter, Skye.
You Say: "My pleasure."
You Think: Will her son be named Luke?
You: Hi Mr Wedge!
Mr Wedge: Hello I haven't seen you in so long! This is my son, Sam.
You Say: "Hello, Sam."
You Think: Sam Wedge? I see nothing special.
You: Mr and Mrs Ning, how are you?
Mrs Ning: We're fine thanks. This is our new baby, Evie.
You Say: "Evie. Lovely name! What's her full name?"
You Think: Evening, Evie Ning...that's fine.
Hello I'm Mrs Rinse and this is my oldest, Duncan.
You Say: "Hello, Mrs Rinse. Hello, Duncan."
You Think: Duncan Rinse? Nothing strange in that.
Hello we're Mr and Mrs Tie. This is our son Beau.
You Say: "Pleased to meet you."
You Think: Beau-Tie. Why named Beau in first place?
Mrs Sark: I'm well. Have you met my son Noah?

Oh!
Forgive me for the confusion. In my accent, Sam Wedge sound nothing like sandwich, and I am quite unfamiliar with the term "dunk and rinse". Thank you for the enlightenment!

That's fine. I often forget accents change these types of meanings. =/ That's why it's so interesting when ppl ask how others pronounce a certain name. And thanks for playing!
