lanquage pronunciation struggle

One of the guys in our koi club can't pronounce Utsuri. the closest he comes to it is "oots-cheery".

I was thinking about using it as a mystery writers name in a column in our club's newsletter. ( presently i use my name but under the header
"Bubbles from the bottom of the Pond". -think Beno would work on Carp?)

Was wondering if anyone else out there has seen the humor in a lost translation and would share the chuckle. ( we can't have serious stuff
exclusively on the board-or should we?)

Boy what I'd give to be celebrating the 4th with mike T....huli-huli chicken on the grill no less! with really fresh pinneapple!!
