Abstract
A social networking system obtains user pronunciations of terms whose pronunciations might vary among different users, such as names of users. The social networking system additionally obtains demographic information about the users from whom the pronunciations were obtained, as well as social graph information for those users, such as information about connections of those users in the social graph. Based on the obtained pronunciations, the demographic information, and the social graph information, the social networking system determines, for a user having that name (or other term in question), one or more suggested pronunciations for the name that are likely to be the pronunciations that that user would use.
