I'm pretty sure that Dash in " The Incredibles" has the full name of Dashiell, and it's said the say way - "DASH-ull"

Dashiell Hammett was named after his mother's surname and it was an Anglicanized version of the French name De Chiel.
It's pronounced DASH-ull.

So by all accounts we just ignore the i altogether eh? Huh. I like Dash-yul better than Dash-ull, but oh well.
