apparently 'aloominum' IS the way it was first pronounced, being discovered by a merkin, it's only when we brought the discovery over here we changed it to 'alyuminyum'.

To do with as you wish until she's 18. I'm 100% behind this, which is why my babies will be dressed in star trek uniforms until they're big enough to fight me off.
