What about Barbour?Originally Posted by ruben
I've always heard and said "Bar-Boar" but I've also heard "Ber-Ber"
I say it like the guy who cuts my hair.

Barbour = barber
That is certainly the local pronunciation of the name in South Shields where the company is based, and the only one I have ever heard in the UK.

Isaia?Originally Posted by patrickBOOTH
In British English: eye- zeye- ah (first two syllables rhyme - last one is that undifferentiated 'uh' sound)

i think it might be "door-moy-yuh" in which the 'yuh" is only just pronounced as in "fauteuil" (armchair in French)Originally Posted by Selvaggio
I would instruct most non-French-speakers to say "door-MOY," which is a close-enough pronunciation that is easy enough to say and will not cause too much embarrassment in the attempt. It's not 100% correct, but it's good enough for conversational purposes. I have a hard enough time getting friends not to read "Zegna" with a hard "g," let alone getting them to pronounce French names correctly.
