American Treasure? Oh please...

All these years, I still cannot pronounce his frickin name. I mean, his name is such a mess, they made an entire movie scene about it.

Great athlete, nice guy, but just an awful name.

“Great athlete, nice guy, but just an awful name.”

If I met someone with the same name I might pronounce it as Fah-vruh. The end sound is very soft and almost imperceptible like the word pauvre (poor) is pronounced poh-vruh. I suppose his family, I can’t imagine how far back, opted for pronouncing it as if it were “Farve”.
