What's in a name?

Samantha is learning to say her full name, and the most difficult part is Shiroishi. She seems to have gotten the hang of it now, but for about a month she liked to pronounce it as "Shiro-oishi-neh."

"Oishi" is Japanese for "tastes good," and with the "neh" on the end it becomes a rhetorical question, like "This tastes good, doesn't it?"
