Did you know?
- Japanese lacks a standalone 'l' sound, so the 'l' in 'Sharon' is replaced by the r sound. To a Japanese speaker, シャロン sounds more like 'Sharon' with a light tap of the tongue.
- If a person named Sharon wants to be extra polite, they will refer to themselves as シャロンです but refer to another Sharon as シャロンさん. The suffix さん is essential to avoid sounding rude.
