Thread Name: Help: Pronunciation of Gillian Welch's name
Subject: RE: Help: Pronunciation of Gillian Welch's name
Sometimes people just give up on the correct pronumciation of their names, as seems to have happened with my surname. My daughter Catriona has trouble with people who emphasise the "o" in her name, so she uses the pronunciation Katrina in England.

At least some of the American Menzieses kept their pronumciation, and changed the spelling to Mingus.
