Bang!Zoom! Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 This is not even close to what I think it's supposed to be, is this a joke?:confused: I'd pronounce it: Eves Sayn Laur-rahn (with a French slur) Yes/no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Must be a joke. It's pronounced something a little like (given that there are sounds in French which don't exist in English) Eve-Sahn-Lau-rohn (the two 'hn's are nasal suggestions, not an English 'n').

Bang!Zoom! Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Okay, that's neat, I had an A sound where there should be an O sound. That's the value of the net, I have no idea how I even got to wondering about this. One minute I was watching a TED talk about light impact on the brain, the next a Gilda Radner-like spoof. The net is so stupid sometimes. It's surely not me...lol ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna in Texas Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Well. I just spent 5 minutes watching all the videos on the side. I found that a lot funnier than I should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 We went to an exhibit a couple years back of his clothes at the local art museum. The audio tour pronounced the name the way one would expect it to be in French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
