    My college had a great system. Right before walking the stage, you would say your name into a closed loop mic that only the presenter could hear. He would then immediately repeat what you said into the mic for the auditorium to hear as you walked onto the stage. This eliminated issues with reading the names or memorizing anything. You could also give him preferred names and middle names if you wanted.

      Wow. Makes me appreciate the system my college used. This isn’t even the best practice. Best practice as my uni did is to have all students record their name pronunciation weeks beforehand and the announcer prerecords the names. It’s phonetic but you are literally giving them the pronunciation of your name and spelling online while also saying a voice clip of it yourself. Then as you go up you just scan a barcode and the recording plays as you walk across. All automatic, no live announced needed necessarily. Though I recall there being one I imagine as a backup and for the few people who didn’t do this process. But it really should’ve been prerecorded even if it’s a small college. I’m 90% sure we could check how their recording sounded too online, so if it don’t sound right you can tell them. 😂

      @@Stinger913 I actually prefer the way my school did it. I didnt have to go through the trouble of getting my name recorded correctly during finals. Plus, the commencement gowns had nowhere to hold anything, including a phone or printed barcode. Putting something into my pockets underneath wasnt a quick or graceful process, and many female classmates didnt have any pockets at all. During the stage walk, you used both hands to hold the diploma and shake hands with the dean. It is also simpler technologically, which can be less confusing overall

      The plan was probably for it to be a list of the names spelled normally + the phonetics, but whoever was in charge of preparing the document SOMEHOW managed to produce a list that contained only the phonetics, which means that they took it all the way from whatever office it was printed from to the stage without a single person taking one moment to glance at it and make sure everything was in order.

      She didn’t say Tomamay, she said Tom-mu-mes, because when she got to the latter half and was uncertain, so she tried again. The mu bit is her first attempt, mes is her second.
      Alternatively, based off how she was pronouncing the other names, it sounds like they weren’t spaced properly. Thomas Micheal would have been written out something lile to-mɑs-mɪ-xaɛl, which could fairly easily be read to sound like to-mu-may since you have literally nothing to go off

    My university had a very good system for this. The presenter had the list of names ahead of time and had marked evey one she was not 100% confident in. If your name got marked you were directed to go see the presenter at a table in the corner. You were also encouraged to go talk to the presenter if you had what may look like a normal name but was pronounced differently. The presenter herself had you pronounce your name to her several times, she would take notes and then one of the people helping her would record a clip of you saying it. My guess is, if the presenter's notes were not enough to jog her memory on how to pronounce it, there was someone right beside her to queue up the recording for her to give a quick listen.
    All in all it was very well thought out and precisely executed. One of the few things my university actually did right.

      At my highschool, well known students were the ones who read your name and you could choose one of 3. You’d hand them a name card with how your names spelled, and then below how you’d pronounce. If they didn’t know for sure once you handed it over they’d ask just to make sure. Thought that worked pretty good but idk how well that would work in larger class settings (even though we were a class of 250 it’s much larger for college)

The amount of times she had messed up just the name Elizabeth is insane! Me and many others in the crowd were periodically yelling to stop or swap with someone else. One dude yelled “get it right”, and from there it ramped up and more people joined, it was wild! Luckily, when my sister went up, someone else was reading the names. Who knew this would happen, and for such a damn big event too! Oh, and as for the phonetic spelling: my sister said that one of her professors went up to point out to her to just say the names themselves, but she kept either ignoring him or not understanding what they meant, which is where the problem arises.

      ⁠Charlie didn’t look for pictures of the actual cards that are already floating around online. The actual names were indeed on the cards. The phonetics were not also IPA standard which requires a person to learn first and it was just spelled in English like SAIR-uh vuhr-JIHN-yuh BREH-nuhn. Even if only the phonetics were on the card, I personally would have been able to pronounce it somewhat correctly.

Yes, many people booed, it was wild. He did handle it with grace during his speech when he said something about being well liked or something to lighten the mood (this was almost a month ago, i barely remember what he said) but he also admitted to stealing stuff from others to make him more money which was so out of pocket, i think i heard people gasping from surprise.
