D'Uccle Pronunciation

[WVduckchick]

So maybe it just depends on what geographical area you're in or from?

I think that’s a lot of it.

Well I had always just presumed it was duckle so now I feel stooopid. What does that mean for the Barbu d'Anver??

I say "BarBoo-DeeAnver" The "an" in "Anver" said as you would say "and" without the D.
I know I'm saying wrong though.

 

[Hawgfan]

From what I understand, Americans tend to put far too much emphasis on the "D", creating an additional syllable, when we should essentially ignore the apostrophe. In this case duke-ul or dan-ver. To help me remember, I think of NBA basketball coach Mike D'Antoni. Pronounced dan-tow-nee. I'm certainly not an expert on these things, and where I'm from, we find many creative ways to add syllables to words.

I've had Porcelain D'uccles for half a year, and I prefer to say "Doo-clay".

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Nope. Not so. Because I ran across an article in The Wall Street Journal’s Mansionsection all about Pippa’s home town of Uccle. It turns out to be a tony enclave of Brussels, where real estate values are flying high. Pippa and I might not be able to afford a coop there, but at least I can now pronounce the name correctly: according to WSJ, Uccle is pronounced ook-la. (I’d love to dazzle someone with that word on WWF, but proper names are regrettably vetoed.)

Found this . LOL
