Try to say regular names with a bunch of Oreos in your mouth!

Examples:  Jocelyn = Jorslun.  Elizabeth = Lisbit.  Daniel = Dannel.

Alice = Allit.   Mark = Marth.  Tommy = Domi.

Confirmed: a mouth full of President Choice White Mac and Cheese  produces a subset of names with a more badass tilt to them.  

Examples: Chris = Rith.  Brittany = Brickney.  Megan = Mayhem.
