Spanish has some very counterintuitive pronunciations (to an English speaker). I knew a Spanish woman at work who introduced herself as "Hemma". It was only much later that I saw that it was spelled Gema - I never knew till then that a G is sometimes pronounced as an throaty H sound in Spanish. I know a woman whose name is "Jorga." I thought it was pronounced something like "HOR-hah," until I heard her say it. She pronounces it "Georgia."
