Definitely "Kye Kye"...he was a stutterer and if he said his last name it sounded like "kye kye Cuyler."

We used to play a game in college to see who could be the "King of Whales" for the evening.
ROugh game, had to go to the clinic once.

was very amused at this entry from the mile high auction catalog, 1/22/2010 (borrowed without permission)...

As most T206 collectors are aware, "El Principe de Gales" can be translated to "The King of Wales,"

Nap's last name still blows me away.
Barry S., i don't know how many people don't even know the translation of
EPDG!!

What is the correct pronunciation of Chris Van der Ahe?

(I've got the "Chris" part.)

[barrysloate]

First you need the correct spelling- it's "Von"

Then I would pronounce it VON-der-aye

[uffda51]

Subconscious typo on my part. I'm know a few people that were named Vander Ark, Vanderkellen, etc. I've heard some people turn the Ahe in Von der Ahe into a two-syllable word but that never seemed right to me.

[slidekellyslide]

I've always pronounced it Von der ah.

[barrysloate]

Well I was just guessing. VON-der-ah is a little harder to say.
