Which of these names is funnest to say?
Yordenis Ugas, Erislandy Lara, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriorkis Gamboa?
Lol all Cubans. I gotta go with Erislandy or Yuriorkis.
Rigo when you include his 1st name
i havent heard first names like that anywhere
It's just the way its transliterated I think. It's just 'William' with a Spanish / Cuban twist.
Yuri is the Russian version of George and I ain't looked into it but at a guess it entered the Cuban naming tradition during the the years of 'fraternal cooperation' between the USSR and Cuba, though clearly they saw fit to add to the Greco-Russian root as they pleased. :dunno:

Honestly I’ve heard Guillermo several times. The actor that played Scarface on Half Baked was named Guillermo.
Ahaha I find them fun to say too.
I gotta go with Yordenis Ugas and Yuriorkis Gamboa.
Same with a lot of Eastern European and Asian boxers too. Eimantas Stanionis is fun to say for instance.
