Hi!

Thanks "Storm" for answering.I was so eager to talk about all this, 
I'm glad that (most) of you didn't mind.

To your question:
Pronouncing German names is usually not so easy- for the 
english-speaking people
Let's see:
ie is pronounced simila to ee in english and the e at the end 
somewhere like u in Turtle only short and a bit lighter(?). Hey Mike, 
the goat, or Dinah, can you help explain this? Are you somewhere near?

(Hey, I think I nearly sound myself again-it usually takes a week, but 
this time I didn't have to go through it alone, maybe it helped)
