Reading

おおさわぎ

    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

This is word that uses the kun'yomi readings of the kanji, which you should know already because is pretty familiar to you by now (I hope) and you just learned 騒ぐ as well! Put them together, with a little tweaking at the end, and you have your reading. Ta-da!
