Of course! Not mellifluous, but it scores a solid 10 on the scale of badassery.
Well I’m totally full of NPR fail today. 
I feel like Eleanor Beardsley Paris. She’s Like the anti-Sylvia Poggioli.
WNYC, also an NPR station:
Soterios Johnson. I love the way he says it.
Awesome. Back when I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby was in trouble in the Bush II administration we had the interesting event of Libby Lewis covering him.
So it was Libby Lewis reporting on Lewis Libby.
Speaking of Johnson, I can’t help but chuckle every time I hear NPR introduce economist Hugh Johnson.
I can’t handle her voice; and hearing her slip into French just sounds jarring; as an American, I feel I can say “she has kind of a grating American accent.” Something sharp in the tone, especially compared to the Goddess Poggioli…
I’m a big fan of film composer Dario Marianelli’s name (and his music). Say it out loud. It’s very aesthetically pleasing.
I’m kind of a fan of Cloudy O’Sanchez myself.
To return to NPR reporters’ names, the most puzzling, to me, is Michele Norris, an ordinary enough name, except for the fact that she herself, in her beautifully articulated voice, quite distinctly pronounces her own first name as Nichelle. (A Star Trek hommage maybe?)
I am also surprised no-one has yet mentioned Mandalit del Barco. I once heard Ms del Barco tell a story about a woman who wrote in complimenting her on her beautiful name, going on to say that she had named her chihuahua after her.
No - she pronounces it as MEE-shell - “MEE-shell Norris” - not sure where you are getting the N. Still frustrating - she sounds nitpicky when, in fact, it is *her *name. She should smack her parents.
Carl Kassel does an excellent job introducing your host for “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me” - PETER SAGAL!!! (Thank you, Carl!)
And they know it, too. There’s a reason that the only prize they offer is Kassel’s voice on your home answering machine - what more could you want?
I was going to post that I, too, always hear it as “Nichelle”. Turns out this is because she pronounces her name with equal stress on both syllables (unlike 99.9% of the Michelles in the world, who stress the second syllable), and because of what sounds English speakers happen to be accustomed to hearing in certain sound contexts, we (at least some of us) misperceive this as “Nichelle”.
Most of the really good NPR names have already been mentioned, but I’ll add Dina Temple-Raston.
When the show first began, that’s the only prize they could afford. Now, it’s the prize because, as you say, what more could you want?
My wife’s name is Christiane, though neither of her surnames (both her maiden name and married name) are as mellifluous as Ms. Amanpour’s. 
I like hearing that name, too, for a different reason – it’s fun to pretend that the singer from Coheed and Cambria is moonlighting as a reporter.
I always delighted at the dissonance of former Wake Forest
basketball’s Jamaal Levy.

I’m fond of Marvin Erickson’s middle name
Wait for it…
Actually “Waitforit” is his middle name
