Abdi Nazemian: Hi. My name is Abdi Nazemian. The first syllable of my first name is Ab, like the abs you work out when you do stomach crunches. The second syllable is Dee, like Deee-Lite, who are one of my favorite '90s bands. My last name is pronounced differently by everyone in my family, but I pronounce it Nazemian. Na, Zim, rhymes with Auntie Em from the Wizard of Oz, and the end is E-N as in Kardashian, and I know everybody knows how to pronounce that.
