The analysed material (several hundreds of proper names) is based on a database of inquiries addressed to the Language Consulting Centre of the Institute of the Czech Language, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, and on a special database of proper names which occur in contemporary media discourse and whose pronunciation is variable. The analysis focuses on the most prominent questions relating to pronunciation problems. Such questions focus, for example, on which languages the problematic proper names originate in, why speakers hesitate about the pronunciation of a given form and what categories of proper names (anthroponyms, toponyms, etc.) occur in the data. In addition, some specific phonetic features of proper names are compared to phonetic features of common nouns.
