[edit] Name

Does someone know how to pronounce the name Me'shell Ndegeocello correctly?

Dude, it's on the page (Name-Related Trivia). -- Crnk Mnky 15:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

This article seems to express this person's name as "Me'Shell NdegéOcello" and in other places her last name is written as "Ndegeocello" and the title of the article is different again: "Me'shell Ndegeocello". So which is correct? --211.28.49.160 12:21, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

It all depends on the time. The artist herself has spelled her name with several variations over her recording career. Early solo work included the apostophes, but recent albums do not.

As Ndegeocello no longer uses unusual punctuation or capitalizations in her name, the article should have remained Meshell Ndegeocello and should not have been moved to Me'shell Ndegéocello with no discussion. I'm requesting that it be moved back. Strobilus 16:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

--What's the deal with all the spelling changes and retarded phonetic pronunciation? Sounds like a self obessed twat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.124.146 (talk) 00:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
