Subject: RE: BS: Pronunciation of 'Colin'
Then there's the Powell bit. In the UK we have two politicos - brothers who have gone to different ends of the political spectrum - called Powell.
Charles, a former flack to Attila the Hen, pronounces his name "Pole". His brother Jonathan, an aide to the Vicar of St Albion's, sticks with "Pow-ell".
But names is odd things, as I should know!
