Chris,
I have heard the name Bouguereau both ways, but I think you might be correct. But I can only go by what I have heard. Just because my relatives are French, it does not mean I or they are pronouncing every word correctly.
After all French is just like English or any other language: how you pronounce words has a lot to do with where you are from and how educated your parents were. We all learn most of our speech from what we grow up hearing. After all, we all have heard people mispronounce words who are very educated themselves. Here in Massachusetts idea always seems to get a "r" added at the end. Maybe it's where all the "r's" go that the Bostonians don't use.
