Names you don't know how to pronounce

[Anonymous]

A couple of names came up yesterday, in conversation with DH, and I butchered the names.

Made me think of starting a post where we all post a name that we don't know how to pronounce (celebrity, high profile person, DC street names, etc).
And then post the answer for the ones you know.[img]

Hard Ch in both names. Chase just like chasing something.

Speaking of Chevy chase, what about chaise lounge. I've heard people say it all French-like. Ha ha. But I say "chase lounge." Is that ok?
