[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the worst is an old friend from high school who named his son Doescher. Pronounced dasher. I know, I know, [i]it's German[/i]. But it's also a strange name with an ugly spelling. [/quote] Yeah, but in German it's written with an "o" umlaut. ANd it's a LAST name. Always. so: blech, it's cringeworthy! And it is also not pronounced Dasher. There is really not an American equivalent to the 'oe' sound of German. ö, oe ö: something like the French "eu" or the British "ur" in the word "burn", e.g. Schoenberg = Schönberg = shön-berg (purse the lips and more from the upper back of the throat).[/quote]
