First of all, your book sounds good....you must let me know when it's out because I think I would like to read that book, it sounds interesting and good.

Second of all, as for the names, I think it would be easy to pronounce Ben, John, Bud (Short for Buddy), Matt, Kel, Kim, Jayson, and Jack.

But I'm oral (Can hear through Cochlear Implant) so I don't know for sure how hard it would be for deaf person to speak that hasn't been oral at all. However I do remember that my Ex boyfriend John can pronounce his name, and he can pronounce some of his friends name such as Bud, Matt and Kel. As for my other friend Amanda, she is like john who can't speak Oral like me, she can say some names like Kim and Lori.

I on other hand has trouble pronouncing words that starts with Z as do most of my friends too. So I would stay away from Z names. Just my two cents.
