I do this, but like others have said - it makes people think I am dumb or rude (when it’s the name of someone’s baby or I’m trying to introduce somebody etc). And I hate it. I’ve been trying to chal...

That's an interesting take on it - enjoying the sounds. :) I guess we never pay much attention to how stuff gets out like that. Way back at language acquisition, I suppose that was part of it, learni...
