Lol! Good ones, Brooster. "Beverly" would be just brutal. Japanese students have a very hard time not only with "r" and "l" but "v" is nearly impossible for them to say correctly without considerable practice. "The" always comes out as "za".
So, it would probably come out as: Bebarooree za beebaa.
Now, there IS a Japanese female name: Ruri (pronounced Rooree)... It's quite rare and I've only heard it spoken a couple times in the 6 years I've lived here.
I'm not sure if I have quite that much schadenfreude in me to give the poor animal an unpronounceable name... But it does make me chuckle to think about it!
