Pronounceable by *someone* or by you? Try getting together a native Cantonese speaker, Arabic speaker, and Inuktitut speaker and find a name all three of them can pronounce without noticeable issues.

Great! Everyone can get named a combination of Papa and Pizza, which are the only 2 words I've heard consistently pronounced everywhere I've traveled.

On second thought, I think the Japanese say "piza", so we're back to a unary sequence now. I call dibs on Papa¹

Well, Papa, if you've only ever heard pizza being pronounced correctly you haven't played Mystery of the Druids.
Great point. Touché
