| Jan 10, 2011 at 17:18 | comment | added | drbobmeister | BTW, my given name is Robert Lewis; people call me Bob Lewis. That's "B" as in Banach, "o" as in "operator", "L" as in "Labochevsky", an "ew" diphthong pronounced generally as the "u" in "grand U-nified theory, "i" as in "integral" and "s" as in "simplex". Any questions? | |

| Apr 4, 2010 at 20:29 | comment | added | Zoran Skoda | In Europe most of the people do pronounce harts-horn. I was using this in US as well and spoiled it a bit more recently after being contaminated by the prononciation of some colleagues. So more recently I said it few times Harts-shorn what is likely wrong. In any case I am surprise that you say that you hear nobody around Berkeley saying it harts-horn. | |

| Apr 4, 2010 at 13:05 | comment | added | Michael Lugo | I had also assumed "Jagy" was Hungarian. (For the record, "Lugo" is Spanish, and pronounced as such.) | |
| Apr 4, 2010 at 10:57 | comment | added | Dror Speiser | As it happens, I asked Robin the same qustion a few weeks ago and he replied: "think of hart's horn (it means the horn of a deer)" | |
| Apr 4, 2010 at 10:11 | comment | added | Douglas Zare | Wow, I assumed your name was Hungarian (like Nagy), which would give a completely different pronunciation. | |
| Apr 4, 2010 at 5:14 | comment | added | Will Jagy | Thank you, kind sir. It is J as in judge, long a, hard g as in gorilla, y to rhyme with e, all as common in American English. That being said, the name is most likely from Switzerland or Alsace-Lorraine by way of Ellis Island, no reliable way of knowing | |
