clarabelle would be pronounced klarabela, or pretty near if you include the silent 'e' USA version which is normally pronounced in european languages.
of course the 'L' 'mistook' makes all the difference.

(people always leave off the 'e' in my surname which is pronounced (roughly) as krroonkeh with a soft short 'e' sound at the end, not kronk. the w is for my given name 'wayne' - i was "kroncke, w" for a long while in the military. computers don't like the comma in user names tho, and US military and US computers, as well as US residents generally have no idea what an umlaut is, so they leave it off.

regards,

Wayne Kröncke

p.s. - now that the OP thinks we are completely nuts, mebbe he'll post a picture of the carabelle, er, karabela.
