"SNIP.......

“A lot of names in politics are hard to say. Pete Buttigieg sold T-shirts to supporters of his 2020 presidential campaign that had instructions on how to pronounce his Maltese surname. This year in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election, Janet Protasiewicz ran ads showing people mangling her Polish name,” the New York Times reports.

“But it’s hard to recall a prominent American politician who has offered alternate pronunciations of his or her own name before Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.”

“When he was sworn in for a second term as governor in January, he said, ‘I, Ron Deh-Santis.’ This month, he began a video for the National Day of Prayer by saying, ‘I’m Gov. Ron Dee-Santis.'”

Applegrove:

Deh is more of a "of" like Ron Deh Sanctimonious. Or Ron Deh Saster. With Dee the nicknames don't flow as easily.
