Prospect Name Pronunciations
Hopefully these two guys will have a great future with the Reds, and if/when they make it to the big club, I want to know how their name is pronounced.
1. Joey Votto - Is it like Voetoe or Vaughto? 2. Johnny Cueto - Is it Queto or something else? I know there may be a few more but I was unsure about these 2 guys. Thanks in advance for the help. |

Pretty much how it looks. Vuh Lay Ka Depending on the PA, they usually accent the "Lay" syllable. One which has gotten me is Denis Phipps. I had always assumed since he's Dominican, that his first name was pronounced "Denn-ee", but it's actually how it looks, as in Dennis the Menace. |

Re: Prospect Name Pronunciations
Thanks for the help guys. It's not that big a deal, but it is nice to know the right way to pronounce a player's name.

Angel Cabrera
Angel or An-Hel? I alway pronounced Dumatrait, Doo-Ma-Trey (After I learned the ending T was silent) Votto - Vah-Toe Valiquette - Val-I(Like "It" w/o the T)-Kett Cueto - Cue-etto (I think Welsh calls him Cue-Way-Toe) Phipps looks more like Denise than Dennis. Valaika - Vuh-Lay-Ka ( I used to pronounce it Val-I-Ki (Ki like Guy))

Re: Prospect Name Pronunciations
An-hell...ironically.
on second thought when pronounced correctly it sounds a bit more like: Un-hell.
