Default Stupid question about pronounciation

Settle it for me please, because I've heard it both ways:

Is Goudey pronounced "goo-dee" or "gow-dee?"

Oh goodness. I've poured my heart and soul (and wallet) into collecting both the 33s and 34s, and if I have been mispronouncing the set name all this time, that sucks.

How-dee, it's Gow-dee.

I have never heard it differently, but then again I am not Canadian (it's 'aboot' time I revealed this fact).

I've always pronounced it Gow-dee. It never occurred to me to pronounce it Goo-dee, and I don't remember ever hearing it pronounced that way.

Put me in the Gow-dee camp. It would never in a billion years occur to me to pronounce that word "Goo-die."

I always pronounced it goo-dee. Then I heard a few years ago that Gow-dee is correct. I still can't bring myself to say Gow-dee, so I have given up henceforth will say and think goo-dee, even if it isn't correct!


I DID however, start pronouncing Lajoie as Lah-zhway instead of La-Joy. Once I heard it pronounced on GOTT audio version. Lah-zhway sounds much better than La-joy IMO.

I have a Louisiana "French/Cajun" uncle called Goudeau. The French pronunciation is Goo-doh. In French, I believe "Goudey" would be pronounced "Goo-day". For what it's worth, I call the cards "Gowdys" I also say "La-joy" instead of Loo ah shoo weh. Here in Houston, the San Jacinto Monument is pronounced "Sann juh sento" instead of the correct Spanish "Sahn Hah Seen-toh" And San Felipe road is pronounced "Sann Phillipy" if you are a native Houstonian. FWIW...Rob

What about Bowman?

I've heard it pronounced like "Bauman" and also like "Bow (like the ribbon on a gift) -man". I've been collecting since the 1970s and I still don't know which is correct.

I've always said Bow (like the ribbon on a gift) -man. Even if someone told me Bau-man is correct, I doubt I would change. (just like goo-dee for me)

Being from Southern Louisiana I automatically want to pronounce it Goo-dee... even though I've always heard Gow-dee. I understand that Cajun/French thing.

It's also pronunciation and not pronounciation to be correct.

Someone told me that Bela, as in Bela Lugosi and Bela Bartok, was pronounced Bela. All this time I'd been pronouncing it Bela.

I'm sure the pronunciation in American hillbilly would sound funny to my ears as well. 😁

I hear "Sweet" "Cap" "Ore" "All" all the time.

I attended several key Midwest shows from 1972-1977, where many pioneers were present, and every time a Goudey was mentioned, it was pronounced, "GOW-DEE". ---Brian Powell

I've always heard it Gow-dee as well.

For the first time ever in a youtube video of all places I heard someone pronounce it bow (same sound as cow) man. I've always heard it bow (like a bow tie or bow and arrow) man and when he said it the other way it sounded so stupid to me and I actually remember saying to myself "OMG moron, that's not how you say it, stop saying that!" LOL

as for Lajoie...I've actually always pronounced that lah-zhwah (both vowel sounds like when the doctor tells you "say ahh")

Cobb and other anglophones might have pronounced it that way, but like most French names, they pronounced it incorrectly.
Nap's roots were French-Canadian, and here in Quebec the name is, and always was pronounced in two syllables not three... It's Laj-waa

I have heard it as Bow (as in ribbon on a present) and as Bow (as in bending low to show respect). I have always used the first way, but recently heard it used the second way.
