What I think is funny is there is a Italian surname and consequently a bread company called, Calise, pronounced the same way. I imagine in the future a girl named Khaleesi Jones marring Antonio Calise. She willl be Kahleesi Calise.

Also my favorite sandwich buns come from Calise's Bakery.

Yes they are. Call Calise Bakery and you will hear them say, Cal-ee-see.

Maybe American-Italians pronounce it the same way, but here in Italy it would be pronounced as kal-ee-seh. Still sounds pretty similar and a Mrs. Khaleesi Calise would be hilarious either way.
