Help[Opinions] Re: Names pronounced differently in the US and the UK
in reply to a message by molly
Interesting topic!
I'm not quite sure about this one, but the other day I was watching Hugh Laurie on The Graham Norton Show and when Graham said his name it struck me as sound different from what I was used to - more like "Yoo" than "Hyoo." I'm doing an awful job of explaining what I mean. Anyway, I'm not sure if that's a regional difference, or just a case of one person, or if I just can't hear.

Graham Norton is Irish so it's probably just his accent. I would definitely say "hyoo"
