Throwing one in for Niklaus Wirth because he said:

Whereas Europeans generally pronounce my name the right way ('Ni-klows Wirt'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nick-les Worth'. This is to say that Europeans call me by name, but Americans call me by value.

Amazing quote!

Probably the closest way to pronounce the name as an American would be "Virt", with "i" pronounced as in "will".

Browse Linux credits for some funky names. My favorite is Jos Vos.

She's a great engineer but do you think she preferred velvet or lace?
