Another good one: Wardell Quezerque = war-dell kah-zerk
actually it's Quezergue with a "g"...
Oops. didn't see that. The pronunciation is correct, though, at least according to a NOLA concert coordinator.
yep, correct pronunciation.
and it didn't help things that fvckin' Tuff City/Funky Delicacies actually released a (unlicensed) compilation of his stuff that spelled his name with a "Q"....
my authority doesn't extend beyond the fact that MY last name had an umlaut one generation ago, but i'm pretty sure it's "STECK-LINE"..........
It is.
I had actually tried to pronounce this on the radio like 20 minutes before posting it in here.
I said it something like (allowing for Boston accent) "STALK-LINN" but also admitted that I was likely butchering it.
I've heard older black steppers' deejays in Chicago pronounce his last name as "Lie-Tell."
It sounds cooler that way.
But everytime I've heard people outside of those circles pronounce Lytle, it's either "Little" or "Lietull."
I've always said "lite-ell" - I can see where you might imagine a soft Y like in "Lydia," but I can't think of any y-t pairings where they Y is soft, it is always an I sound.
BOWIE (as-in BOW-TIE) - Most common
BOWIE (as-in BOW-WOW) - A lot of dudes say this.. like 45%
BOWIE (as-in BOO-HOO) - I've only heard Kurt Cobain say this taking the piss before playing Man Who Sold The World.

These days it's bow as in tie a bow on it (that's what he says, anyway) but not sure he's always been consistent. He famously named his kid Zowie Bowie (as in wowweee), but called him Joey. Sensibly the kid went with Duncan Jones.
This reminds me of a chick that used to host one of the first cable hip hop/rap/rnb shows in the 90s in Australia. She used to fuck up the names of simple MC names like Treach, which she pronounced to make it rime with Preach. Tupac become something that sounded more like Too Pork etc
A well known Sydney hip hop indentity rerad her a drunken riot act one night and let her know she was saying the names wrong but I dont think that helped.

On a related note, there is a really good syndicated blues radio program here in the States that usually airs on Saturday nights. Dude has deep crates playing the finest in prewar and postwar (up to 1965) sounds. I just wish he'd learn how to pronounce Amos Milburn's last name correctly ("and that was three in a row from Amos MILBOURNE...").
I say hummus the first way. Which way do y'all say it?
i went to school with and was friends with tons of chaldeans (catholic iraqis for those not familiar) -- they either said HOOH-MOOS or HUHH-MOOS (moos like mousse). since i'm white as fuck, i've always said HUM-IS (IS is said like MISS).

The Hebraic pronunciation would be khoom-moose (guttural "KH" sound)

Gal Costa = Gaou CO-stah
Tom Z?? = TOMBzeh (soft "B")
Caetano Veloso = KAI-tano vehlozzo
Jo??o Gilberto = ZHOU-oww ZHOU-ber-tah
Milton Nascimento = MIW-tow nahsee-mento (the "i" in Milton is the flat, nasal Portugese "i")
There's a Gal Costa song where she name drops a bunch of folks and she clearly says zhor-zhee bein.

Crazy???he says it in every other song. You should just wax poetic on your favorite early Rundgren tunes whenever the topic comes up.
