Can anyone comment on how one would pronounce that surname?
It's pronounced Shaw. Not quite, more like Shah. [I'm sure Calvin will answer to either. ;)]
That doesn't really help that much. Different areas of the United States alone would pronounce "shaw" very differently. And being from Southern California, "Shaw" and "Shah" are homonyms for me. A recording would work, or if you could find a word on m-w.com, like this one: http://m-w.com/dictionary/shaw (note that m-w uses almost exclusively "standard" English for its recordings) -- Peter Crabtree I agree with Peter Crabtree. In the North East, I would pronounce it more like 'shore' with a very soft 'r'. 'Shah' helps, but I'm inclined to rhyme that with 'Car', which is pronounced here near Boston like 'Caah'. A recording would be absolutely helpful (not that I ever find myself saying his name out loud)! – Tod McKenna Bingo, Tod. "Shah" like "caah," as in "Pahk the caah in Hahvahd Yahd."--^TamarGranor
