[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should also give an example: Chojnacki should be pronounced hoy-NOTS-key but I know a family that now pronounces it cho-JHA-knack-ee. If you know them, you know how they pronounce the name, but I see some of them get their noses bent out of shape when near strangers see the name and pronounce it properly. I also worked with someone about 10 years ago named Jorge who pronounced his name George not hoar-hay.[/quote] Is that a popular polish last name? I know someone with that last name -- they pronounce it the first way. I know a Jorge who goes by George. And i've been told by my immigrant husband that i don't pronounce our last name correctly. it wasn't a criticism, he just mentioned it in passing. [/quote]
