QUIRKY WORLD ... Mother of mouthfuls: Daenerys a tough one to say

ENGLAND: Don Quixote, Daenerys Targaryen — from Game of Thrones — and Oedipus have topped a poll of literary names people struggle to say correctly.

The study follows Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s recent disclosure that Voldemort is actually pronounced ’Vol-De-Mor’ with a silent T.

A survey of 2,000 people aged 18 to 65, conducted by digital audiobook retailer Audible, found 39% have pronounced the names of literary characters incorrectly.
