Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2005 10:21 pm Post subject: The Proper Pronounciation of Guthrie's Surname |
|
|
So I found out that it's pronounced Guh-ven (kind of like when you pronounce "govern"), not Go Van. I noticed that watching some video footage of Guthrie announcing the members of the band and saying, "Seth Guh-ven on bass." All this time I've been telling people, "go van". _________________ Ed Yoon

Guthrie introduces himself on the cd that accompanies his Creative Guitar book, so I already knew this
Ed, what's the pronounciation of your last name? |

I have those books but haven't had the chance to really through 'em. I should, one of these days...
Pretty much pronounced as it's spelled... But in Korean, it's pronounced "yeun" in a short curt manner, while in English, it's more like yoooon... Close enough! _________________ Ed Yoon

I used to think it was Go Van as well. Just goes to show. I should know better: people pronounce my name as Ee-doh, while it should be A-doh (it's Dutch ). Oh well... What's in a name anyway! |

Very true. I get just about every possible variation on Alun ( which is "officially" Al-in):
Al - ann
Al-uhn
Al-een
Al-ain
Al-oon
And that's without the number of call centres that ring asking to speak to Mr Vorgan or Vorhargen (which has got a nice Viking ring to it I guess )
