Pronunciation of name "Koch"

Yes, of course, because I’m from Maryland, which, like most of the East Coast, does not merge the “cot” and "caught"vowel sounds. If you are a native of New Hampshire, you’re from one of the few areas in the east that does merge them. Or you’re originally from somewhere out West.

Nope, I pronounce them the right way (different from each other). I was just checking which you were.
