What about Bowman?

I've heard it pronounced like "Bauman" and also like "Bow (like the ribbon on a gift) -man". I've been collecting since the 1970s and I still don't know which is correct.

I've always said Bow (like the ribbon on a gift) -man. Even if someone told me Bau-man is correct, I doubt I would change. (just like goo-dee for me)

I have heard it as Bow (as in ribbon on a present) and as Bow (as in bending low to show respect). I have always used the first way, but recently heard it used the second way.
