That would be Huh - as in Anna Jung Huh. One of my endless Eye Docs, Dentists and Lawyers...

Man, I'd say HUGH, but I don't KNOW anyone with that name so I can't say for sure.

Any chance you can call her?

I'll try calling in the AM - it was after business hours when I got to her name. Had a few doozies today. Why can't every name be as easy to pronounce as Terwilliger...

I was curious, so I dialed the Donut Palace in Axle Texas, owned by one Jung Huh. No answer. Found a Jung Huh in SLC, but got a generic outgoing message. Just hung up the phone with the Dry Cleaning Station in Gaithersburg MD and asked the owner, named Jung Huh, how to say it. She says Hu(n)h ... with a barely-discernible 'n' sound in there.

In this case, it is an Americanized version - Ha - with a very slight lean toward Huh - without our question mark at the end.

You mean like the one-word WTF?!? only with no upward inflection?

Thanks for the update— I don't think I'll make any more stabs at Chinese names!

Yesterday's was "Wassenaar, Fruitiger, and Moeggenborg" family dentistry.

Not terribly difficult to say standalone, but in a sentence was a bit of a twister.
