6. Akon
Akon was cruelly named Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam as a newborn babe. No child should be subjected to that many vowels in a row. Poor Aliaune. His teachers never could get that darn pronunciation down. Why such a French mouthful of a name for this Missouri-born boy? His family has Senegal roots where French is the official language. He wisely chose one of his more pronounceable middle names with which to launch his career.
