The semi-famous ,and late, Honda Bob Beaulieu - of the Colorado Region SCCA
and a founder of the Mid-South Region, a founder of the Bolus and Snopes
Racing Team, always said how you pronounced his name was not really
important - as long as you were offering him a drink, a good poker hand or
the hand of a good Southern Belle. He was not fond of the Frog
pronunciation, with 'too much nose slurping noise in the beginning'.

The other term that is revealing is how someone pronounces Beaulieu.
Wonder how Sylvie Guillem would pronounce it. I think her dad was a
mechanic
