Yes, Lajoie is a French-Canadian name. They pronounce it Lah-zhwah. You could say Lah-jwah as well, but it's usually said a little softer than that. There is a popular Canadian comedian who used to be on the tv series 'The League' who is named Jon Lajoie, and that's how he pronounces it as well.
For the others, I used to say Goo-Dee when I was a kid, but over the years I've heard just about everyone else say Gow-Dee. And Bowman is pronounced like Bo Jackson or a bow in your hair, not the bow of a ship.
