I once sat on a jury hearing a solicitation for prostitution case.  The male
defendant was arrested for offering to give the male undercover sheriff's
deputy who arrested him a blow job for $25 (in 1978).  (The solicitation took
place on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, for those who know L.A.)
His last name was Semaan (he was Lebanese), which I would assume would be
pronounced "seh-MAHN" or "seh-mah'ahn".  To the amusement of all on the jury,
the attorneys (even his) kept on referring to him as "Mr. SEE-m'n".
