1. A method comprising:
- at one or more processors;
receiving a name;
mapping the name to one or more sets of monosyllabic components that represent alternative phonetic pronunciations for at least a portion of the name, wherein monosyllabic components from the one or more sets of monosyllabic components are combinable to construct a phonetic pronunciation of the name;
displaying the one or more sets of monosyllabic components;
receiving a user selection of a monosyllabic component from each of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components; and
combining the selected monosyllabic component from each of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components to construct the phonetic pronunciation of the name;
wherein displaying the one or more sets of monosyllabic components comprises displaying a first portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components via a user interface, andfurther displaying a second portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components in response to a user selection of one of the first portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components.

9. A system comprising:
-
a user interface arranged to receive the name; a processor arranged to map the name to one or more sets of monosyllabic components that represent alternative phonetic pronunciations for at least a portion of the name, wherein monosyllabic components from the one or more sets of monosyllabic components are combinable to construct the phonetic pronunciation of the name; the user interface arranged to display the one or more sets of monosyllabic components; the user interface arranged to receive a user selection of a monosyllabic component from each of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components; and the processor arranged to combine the selected monosyllabic component from each of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components to construct the phonetic pronunciation of the name; wherein the user interface is arranged to display the one or more sets of monosyllabic components by displaying a first portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components, and further by displaying a second portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components in response to a user selection of one of the first portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
-
receiving a name; mapping the name to one or more sets of monosyllabic components that represent alternative phonetic pronunciations for at least a portion of the name, wherein monosyllabic components from the one or more sets of monosyllabic components are combinable to construct a phonetic pronunciation of the name; displaying the one or more sets of monosyllabic components; receiving a user selection of a monosyllabic component from each of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components; and combining the selected monosyllabic component from each of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components to construct the phonetic pronunciation of the name; wherein displaying the one or more sets of monosyllabic components comprises displaying a first portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components via a user interface, and further displaying a second portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components in response to a user selection of one of the first portion of the one or more sets of monosyllabic components. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
