How do you pronounce.........

[colinmce]

Eric Boeren?

Bear-in? Born? Boh-ren?

[Niko]

Boo-ren or "Bew-ren", i'd say i.e. the dutch "oe" is a long "u"

[erwbol]

The sound sample on this page comes close.

How do you pronounce the last name of the English violinist and conductor Hugo Rignold? Is it "Rye-Nold?"

I think it has too much an oh sound.

This site has a fairly good speech of "Boeren".

Typ in the word, choose Dutch and then for voice Xander. He has the most accurate. (not Laura, that is completely wrong speech)

Apologies if this has been covered here before - it's a long thread - Ike Quebec: Kwih - bek; Keh - bek; Kay - bek ?

I've always heard it said Kwih-bek.

I've always heard it said Kwih-bek.

I've heard it as "KYOO-bek", and although I don't have it at hand right now I believe this is what the Penguin Guide states as well.

[Chuck Nessa]

Penguins should know.

What clinches it is that on a CBC Radio Canada feature on (Ike) Quebec I once heard on the radio, that was the way they pronounced it !

How is Ribot pronounced? (as in Marc Ribot)

There was an article in this morning's paper about Joan Miro, and it reminded me that I have no idea how to pronounce his first name.

Anybody know?

[Van Basten II]

Listened to a Spanish documentary on him on youtube they pronounced it with a soft G and it rhymed like the more familiar Juan. Although to be sure it would take something in catalan.

[JSngry]

Abernathy.

You shoulda said DiMaggio.

How do you pronounce the last name of the English violinist and conductor Hugo Rignold? Is it "Rye-Nold?"

Rig-Nold: just the way it looks. (I lived in Birmingham for many years, and he conducted the CBSO for a time, so his name came up occasionally with musicians who had worked with him and it was always pronounced like that).

[jazztrain]

Thanks for the answer. Now I know for the next time it comes up. I may have said it wrong at the time, but, if so, no one apparently noticed.

Found out that Stephan Crump's name is pronounced 'Stuh-fawn' when I introduced myself at his show with Mary Halvorson the other night with a 'Hi Stephan!(Steven)"

I was promptly corrected.
