How would you say this name?

Mattivello?

 

 

 

I think Matt-ah-vell-oh. But I can't sound things out to save my life (apparently it has something to do with the way I taught myself how to read). It's the last name of the person I'm interviewing with tomorrow.

Re: How would you say this name?

  • no clue. my guess would be mah-tah-vell-oh
  • My guess would agree with Karreys, however I just want to say Matzo ball when I see it.

  • OMG-I can see it now... She's interviewing and says "Hello, Mr. Matzo Balls!"... (I hope not, but that made me laugh!)

    I agree w PP on pronouncing-which is no help, sorry!

  • You could call him Mr. Lastname and say "I'm sorry, how do you pronounce your first name, I don't want to butcher it!"

    I agree - there are too many options, depending on the accent/origin. Is it possible to sneak call the office and ask someone without revealing who you are?
