Tim: Understand completely what you mean. My biggie is Bouguereau.

I have heard it pronounced:

"Boo-jer-oh"
"Booj-row"
"Bu-jer-o"
"Boo-garo"
"Boo-ger-ew"
"Bo-ger-o"
"Bo-ger-ew"

To this day, I don't really know the correct pronounciation having had several conflicting ways of saying it from people who "should know". I think it is "Booj-row"
