Boerre (pronounced /bə:ʁʁɛ/)

It's utterly impossible to pronounce for English speakers except Scotsmen. Those who have studied French may get the back-of-the-mouth trill (think Edith Piaf and "Non Je Ne Regrette Rien"), but it's impossible in British or American English to end a word with an "e" sound.

So I tell people it's pronounced "Arthur".

The bass player in my band (named Brian) showed up to the last jam wearing a vintage Gulf service station shirt with the name Chris on it.
He did it just to get me going. He knows I want that shirt!

Christmas is approaching, it's a tough time of year to be a guy named Rudolph (good thing everybody calls me Rudy).

In the same way Keith Moon once introduced himself:
My name is Dan, some people call me Bob...you can call me Keith!
