Damn, the "q" represents that clicking in the back of the mouth with the toungue sound as used in Southern Africa. The best I could manage was "Nnn-click-obile".

We're using her middle name.

Actually, I always deliberately struggle through the students' names and get coached on pronunciation in the first class. It is a good ice-breaker, and it shows that I'm trying to say their names properly, as they would say them,which shows respect. The students can all laugh at me, provided they are laughing together.
