Hm... that's one of those things many non-native speakers are not that
familiar with, I guess -- at least I'm not :)

Is it the 'o' of "so" (as in "that's so interesting") or is it the o of
"pro" in "pronounce"? (I looked up "vogue", but it seems to have different
forms of pronouncing the 'o': http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vogue :)

English is not really a difficult language, but English pronunciation is,
well, not exactly difficult, just unpredictable :)

You'd think that if they are from the same family, they'd pronounce their
name equally, no? Like on a family meeting? :)

Thanks,
