How To Pronounce My Last Name

Great show on .NET Rocks today featuring Rob Conery, architect of the Commerce Starter Kit and SubSonic.

However, being the self-centered person that I am, the only thing I remember hearing is my last name being mispronounced.

For the record, my last name is “Haack” which is pronounced Hack, as in,

Yeah, I took a look at the new code Phil put into Subtext.  Talk about an ugly Haack!

On the show Rob pronounced it Hock which is only okay if you are British, which Rob is not.  I already gave Rob crap about it, so we’re cool. Wink

Oh come now. Do you REALLY expect us to believe that you're a computer geek that just happens to have a name so similar to "hacked"? Just how gullible do you think we are?

:P

Kevin, you found me out. The true pronounciation of my name is "Beetlejuice".

I've always pronounced it "Ack-shev-shis-kee". I guess I've been watching too much Duke basketball.
