HelpRe: Weiland
in reply to a message by atel
I am not familiar with this person and so don't know how he pronounces Weiland. Is the first syllable like "wee", "wye", or "way"? I think a lot of people would have difficulty with the pronunciation, and so would advise parents to choose a spelling that better conveys their intended pronunciation to most English speakers.

I agree. Even on news/entertainment programs, it is pronounced in various ways.

I agree that there will be pronunciation issues. I went to school with someone with the last name Weiland and people were constantly mispronouncing his last name.
