    You just made me realize, maybe that’s the point.

    He generally refuses to say her name correctly, with the hard first ‘a’ instead of the flatter one. However when you use “blah”, it’s generally a flat ‘a’, and you’d almost never use that hard ‘a’ for “blah” unless you were being sarcastic. Anyways, when using “blah” like you should say her first ‘a’, he now shows he could say it right, he just refuses to.

        Well, yes. But it linguistically triggers english readers into saying her name incorrectly. Even trying to say her name right after using “Kamablah” is difficult to a native speaker.
