Everyone in the comment section is being ignorant and somewhat racist. This name was used for centuries and was seen as normal. There is a Greenlandic syllabary so it would be easier for a kid to write their name. Also, if you have trouble pronouncing the name, then deal with it. The Native people have every right and reason to reclaim their names and wont stop for you.

I love this name (banner included), but there’s just one problem…how exactly do you pronounce it?

Piloqutinnguaq is also used as a masculine name in Greenlandic. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine". Some variants of this name are Pilo, Piloĸutínguaĸ, Piloqqutinnguaq, Pilorĸutínguaĸ, Pilu, Pilutak, Pilutaĸ, and Pilutaq.Sources: https://forebears.io/x/forenames/pilo

Personally, I love this name! It is unique and lovely. I am not from Greenland, but I still think it is darling. Maybe Piqu (pee-coo) for a nickname?

The other comments clearly demonstrate that this is not a name that would fly well outside of Greenland. However, it's a beautiful flowing name. The pronunciation is pee-lo-qoo-TING-goo-ahq. The Greenlandic q represents a sound not found in English or other European languages. It's sort of like a k, but very far back in the throat using almost a glottal stop.

I cannot imagine how one would pronounce this name. Surely any poor child would spend months of their life (say, 5 minutes each time asked) telling people how to say it. Honestly, and teachers think "Lucrecia" is a difficult one to say.
