I had an elderly Japanese friend who owned a cat named Clementine. She pronounced it
Kurementine however. After a while my curiosity about why she would name her cat something she couldn't pronounce overcame me. Figuring out a semi tactful way of finding the answer I asked her how she came to name the cat Clementine.
"That was her name when I got her."
OK, then.
Now I always call the fruits, Kurementines.
