Comment on OK. I'm at wit's end attempting to convince Google's LLM to pronounce an English name correctly.

What does any of this have to do with LLMs?
I mean I agree with the conclusion but the confused people here are… people. I think if you ask an LLM about the “common name Rach,” it’ll also tell you that you probably mean Rachel.

Ironically, the context provided to the LLM is I accidentally shortened her name in the newsroom as her direct report. So, yes, we are talking about a Rachel, but that was very clear in the prompt.
