        He can blame english phonetics. Also X being kind of a joker letter. “Why does eks make the sound zee?”

          The teacher clearly said “letter” though, so phonetics shouldn’t come into it. If they were named “Pete,” “Psycho Pete” would be reasonable and probably accurate.

          Also, xylophone is a noun anyway, so after they redo kindergarten, they’ll need to go back to second grade (or maybe first?) and relearn basic grammar.

          Finally, English phoenetics is an oxymoron, but I don’t think kids get into that concept until later on in school, so I’ll give you a pass for now. But everyone knows English pronunciation and spelling aren’t related and you just end up memorizing everything anyway.

      I don’t know what’s worse, naming your kid after a fox that uses Linux or a suburb of Dayton.
