Graduates from Thomas Jefferson University’s commencement ceremony, held on May 9, experienced an unusual scene when the emcee responsible for calling them up to receive their diplomas utterly butchered their names.
The mystery emcee’s attempt to pronounce graduates’ names turned into an unexpected comedy routine.
As students marched proudly across the stage to receive their hard-earned diplomas, the unnamed emcee faced an epic linguistic challenge.
Each graduate, apparently anticipating potential pitfalls, handed over a slip of paper with their name clearly printed on it. Yet, what followed was a cascade of creative mispronunciations that could rival any tongue-twister contest.
Among the standout misreads was “Carolina Arena,” whose last name came out “Urena,” and “Meghan Louise Aubrey” was pronounced “Mejeanlou Eyabri.”
Student “Gabrielle Julianne Awad” couldn’t hold back her laughter as she approached the podium when her name was pronounced “Gabrielle Julianwood.”
The emcee absolutely butchered the names of the graduating students.

The emcee even pronounced the name “Jessica” as “Jesikoo.”
One graduate, “Tristan Sweigert Boyer” looked pleasantly surprised when the emcee pronounced his name more ore less correctly.
However, the mispronunciations persisted soon after, with “Sarah Virginia Brennan” being pronounced, “Sire Ovoon Jingju Breenun.”
The mispronunciations kept happening over and over. Some of the pronunciations were utterly inexplicable.
Social media buzzed with clips and quips from the ceremony.
Despite the phonetic fumbles, the day was saved by the good spirits of the graduates and audience members, who embraced the hilarity of the moment.
Social media was ablaze with comments regarding the mispronunciations.
