I've known multiple people with the last name spelled Koch. One pronounced it "Coke", one "Cook", one "Cock", and one "Cahch".

- stevekemp 5y agoDialects and accents really make this kind of difference very pronounced. In Edinburgh, Scotland, there is "Cockburn Street". Which is pronounced co-burn. Other good examples trip up tourists, such as Buccleuch Street which is pronounced "Buck-Loo".
- parenthesis 5y agoMy favourite street name in Edinburgh is "Horse Wynd", unfortunately not pronounced the comical way.
