Rams pronunciation challenge

[XXXIVwin]

Alright, ya meathead bastids, I’ll give y’all a helpful head start.

The new guy, Hajrullahu, is pronounced Hy-roo-la-hoo.

Given that, my challenge to you is this: can you pronounce the following five names, CORRECTLY AND PERFECTLY, without making a single mistake on any syllable (and without looking to the internet for help)?

Here they are:


Hajrullahu
Hoomanawanui
Okoronkwo
Tinoisamoa
Manumaleuna

Well, how’d ya do?

Excellent guys, well done.

Now all that's left is for me to torture my wife with this quiz!

(She has been kind enough to become a Rams fan, and so I have repaid her kindness with quizzes about the hardest Rams' names.)

For any of you old enough to remember the movie "Diner", here's a link to a hilarious (and awful) scene. The character of "Eddie" says his fiancee must pass a lengthy quiz about football or else the marriage is off. Here it is:
