What's in a name?

A word about my name. In Dutch, Leo is pronounced `lay-oh', not `lee-oh'. Similarly, Breebaart does not rhyme with `tree-cart'. The `bree' is pronounced `bray', and the `baart' has a long `aa', like the second `a' in "aloha", or as in Fred Flintstone's "Wilmaaaaaa!" (well, maybe not that long). So it's: Lay-o Bray-baaart.

And on the other hand, you may just want to pronounce it Throatwobbler Mangrove.
