That reminds me of a funny story:
I was in grade school (over 33 years ago) and we had to read from books aloud. Anyway, some of us kids read ahead, and it had the words "rubber Pepe" (I don't recall the rest of the words) but we all snickered about it. I showed it to my mother, and she said "That's PEP E, not pee-pee"
Anyway, I guess word got around, and someone was reading the book, and pronounced it right, and a lot of us was snickering in class expecting the reader to say "pee pee". A lot of us thought Pepe was pronounced "pee-pee" lol
