I just heard from a European friend, who informed me,
“For the Van Gogh- this only works in American English. The English (and the Dutch as well I think) pronounce “Gogh” to rhyme with “Loch” (“lock” in American English), as in the Scots pronunciation. Apologies for being so pedantic.”
I wonder if the French pronounce “Van Gogh” like the Americans, as up until now, I’ve never heard of a pronunciation to match up with “lock.”
