Does anyone know how to pronounce the last name of a distant relative of mine?

Voudoukis

The person was born in Mytilinioí, Samos, Northern Aegean, Greece.

You but with a V instead of the Y

dou > do

kis > kiss

guessing


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

I agree with KrasziKanuk: Like "Voodoo kiss", except that the emphasis would be on the second syllable, "doo".

Agree with that pronunciation. I had a manager who had the same surname, and it was pronounced exactly as written above.

AJ.


Kindest regards,

Thanks. I thought the same but I did not know which syllable to put the emphasis.

I have found the best technique to questionable pronunciations is to wait until I meet a person and fess up.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to goof it up - how do you pronounce your name?"


The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

Thanks Dart, I agree. This distant relative was born in 1892.

Why not ask a Greek how to pronounce?

The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Given that I do not know anyone of Greek descent , my best chance was this forum.
