The English way! Jewish South Africans (used to) prefer the spelling
Morris, and this has led some people to overcorrect and use the French pronunciation when they see
Maurice and the English one for
Morris. And
Bernard gets the stress on the second syllable only in the rare cases when it is used by Afrikaans-speakers, who follow European rules and/or use the Bernardus version, which naturally gets middle-syllable stress; or Berndt, which solves the whole problem!
I remember a very good news anchor/reporter on US television (CNN, probably) called
BerNARD Shaw. South Africans giggled; what the Irish playwright would have done is anyone's guess.
Kiddies' stories: Freaky Friday and its sequel, which I forget the title of. But the second book contains a character with severe nasal congestion who is thought to be
Boris and to specialise in cooking beet loaf ... it turns out when he recovers that his name is either
Morris or
Maurice and he cooks meat loaf. So, we say BOR-is for
Boris, including Russian politicians ... do you guys say bo-REESE? Or is that version just part of the fantasy genre?
