Luxury Yacht/Throatwobbler Mangrove anyone?
… which is why the most common english equivalent is “sch” … sorta halfway between.
Seems only appropriate for a professional hockey player, though, doesn’t it?
How is “sch” halfway in between? Spelling-wise or pronunciation-wise? “Sch” is pronounced the same as “sh” in English. At least in my dialect, “shell” and “schell” would be the same.
School? 
My favorite name pronunciation is Tallifiero, which in the sourthern US is pronounced Tolliver.
You mean putting an “eh” in it?
Havre de Grace, Maryland is typically pronounced
Havver dee grayce
Shame too, because ahhve duh grahss sounds much nicer.
Also, knew a Des Jardins growing up who pronounced it dess JAR dins. Ugly.
I’ve only ever heard it pronounced Sha-Day! What other ways have you heard it?
Sar-day and Shar-day. Also Sa-day.
The first two on PBS concerts. They usually attempt to get it right.
I wonder if there’s anything on wikpedia?
Golfer, Jose Maria Olazabal’s last name is pronounced “O-la-THA-Bul” for some reason.
I don’t know who he is, but I’m guessing by that pronunciation that he’s Spanish, as “c” (before “e” & “i”) and “z” are pronounced close to English “th” in Castillian Spanish (the Spanish in Spain).
“Sade” is a nick for Folasade. It’s Nigerian, and I know a few. They’re all “Sha-day” or “Shar-Day.” I think the cassette of her first album had “Pronounced Shar-Day” on the spine.
Yep, he is a native Spaniard. I guess that explains it. Thanks.
Yeah, that fits with what I’ve heard on radio stations too. It is a stretch, though, for someone who doesn’t know.
I think I have that cassette somewhere.
Thanks for the “horses mouth” report. 
That’s the best explanation I’ve heard.
