Bestemor wins the double prize! Thank you to our contestants.

It is worth noting that Mor-mor's own name, Jennifer Boger, has vowel and consonant sounds that would make it also a plausible answer for #2.

But when tested, Edith pronounced her Mor-mor's name "Jecken Boguh." Which would also be a plausible answer for her Mee-maw...gee, I think we could get a game out of this...
