Yes. Correct French enunciation is La-zhwah, but he was always called La-joe-way by any contemporaries whose voices I've heard.
Eddie Cicotte is "SEE-cott" as per the player's own phonetic spelling of it when asked the question. Wagner's nickname(s) were mangled more than they should have been. You have his own teammates, rivals and younger players he coached using Hans, HAHN-uss, HOE-nuss, etc. I think most of us know it's the latter, although that's really strange, as it was a bit of a play on Johannus, which has never been pronounced Yo-HOE-nuss.
