The actor Ryan Phillippe is Deacon's great nephew and even named his child Deacon Phillippe. He pronounces it fil-EEP. But I guess that doesn't mean much as the name has probably changed in pronunciation and spelling as the family became more Americanized.
I've asked before but is it Sweet CAP-er-ul or cuh-POOR-ul? |

I always pronounce it kaa-poor-ahl. But I'm from Jersey so take that with a large grain of salt.

I have consulted my wife the entertainment guru as well as the Oracle (Google). You are correct. Ryan Phillippe is #1 on the "Celebrities Whose Names You Are Probably Mispronouncing" list. It is, therefore, Deacon FIL-A-PEE.

This thread reminds me of the old SNL skit with Nicholas Cage.
His character's last name was Asswipe. Pronounced as-wee-pay |

I've always wondered about Bob Unglaub.... is it Un-glob or Oon-glob (oon as pronounced in noon or soon)?

I read somewhere that Johnny Evers was pronounced Ev-ers in baseball circles, but he grew up as E-vers and was always known in his hometown as such.

According to dictionary.com, the accent does not fall on the second syllable. Caporal is a type of tobacco, which is typically pronounced with an accent on the first syllable, and sometimes the third.
So, it is CAP-uh-rahl or cap-uh-RAHL.

Goudey: 'gow-dee'
Uzit: 'you-zit' Always wondered about Luque as well, Sean. Edit: What about Fatima? 'fa-team-uh' or 'fat-im-uh'? Last edited by asoriano; 01-15-2015 at 07:53 PM. |

I've heard both of the Fatima versions. Anyone know which is correct? I always say fa-team-uh.

A lot of the players in 1939 can be heard talking on radio from Cooperstown. Obviously they pronounce the names correctly. I believe La-zha-way is how Nap is announced by the MC. You can pick up the CD here:
