Does anybody know how to pronounce the German name "Gijs Bakker"?

I don't know anything about German, actually.


But, sadly, I'm having an interview about one or two weeks later.


I'm applying for an Industrial-Design-related-school.


I guess the professors there might ask me who my favorite designer is...





That's why I'm here, and I hope there's somebody to help me out.


Thank you so much:))

Does anybody know how to pronounce the German name "Gijs Bakker"?
Isn't he Dutch?





Going by the pronunciation of "Rijksmuseum", I'd say "Guys Bukker".





I think the Dutch pronunciation of "ij" is like "eye". In German, the "a" is pronounced like a "u" as in "bucket".





You might find more help in the Languages section.





Good luck with the interview!





Edit: Definitely "Bukker"; Dutch is very like German, and the "a" in both languages wouldn't be elongated to a "Baker" sound. (Most native English speakers don't take that on board!)

Do people realise that "Boehner" is a German name, probably meaning someone from Bonn?

Since people are talking about him making a run for President I thought that might be important to know.


But I'm sure his name will still make gradeschool children and late night comedians giggle.

No, it's not a misspelling of "Bonner", which would be pronounced completely differently. It means "farm dweller" (Swedish), "bean grower", or "someone who has lived in a loft". 鈭犅?
Reply:so i guess you are trying to make a point somewhere . Half the country have different nationality;s name since this country wasn't all americans when formed. bet your name is not smith but then smith probably is not either. one thing i know he is working for our country , can't really say that about Obama . Now there's a good ole American name.
Reply:People talking about Boehner running for President? BS, I follow politics closely and that is something that I have not read or heard anywhere. FYI, 'Kennedy' is an Irish name, Smith is English, Yamamoto is Japanese and Barrack Hussein Obama is an Arabic/Muslim name from Kenya.
Reply:I don't think so. More likely it's derived from "bohne", the german word for bean. Perhaps, somewhere in the distant past, his ancestors were bean farmers?
Reply:I thought names ending in "er" were mostly Germanic in origin. But why does his name matter? Was it because he is leading his party to become the "party of no?"
Reply:So, a good chunk of Americans are of German descent

I couldn't find the origin to the name Strol.
