“Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry”

Simplified Meaning:

When you shout someone's name, having it end in a vowel makes it easier and louder to hear. Think about names like "Anna" or "Leo." The final sound is open and clear, which helps the name travel further. In contrast, names with a consonant at the end, like "Bart" or "Mark," tend to be shorter and might get swallowed up in the air when yelled. Imagine you're at a busy park and your child is playing far away. If their name ends in a vowel, they’re more likely to hear you calling them. This advice can help ensure your child can always hear you, even when you need to call out loudly. So, when picking a name, ending it with a vowel could make communication easier in noisy situations.
