Why Enry?
---------
In the movie [My Fair Lady](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Fair_Lady), [Professor Henry Higgins](http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0011719/?ref_=tt_cl_t2) is one of the main characters. Henry is a linguist and at the very beginning of the movie enjoys guessing the nationality of people based on their accent.

`Enry Iggins` is how [Eliza Doolittle](http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0011720/?ref_=tt_cl_t1), [pronounces](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwNKyTktDIE) the name of the Professor during the first half of the movie.
