This is probably an easy one, but Anya Hindmarch? Is it pronounced just the way it's spelt?

I pronounce Rodarte -Ro-dot. Wondering if the "r" is silent... Is that correct?

I think I've heard that it is actually Ro-dart-e, just like it's spelled. I could be mistaken, however.

I am pretty sure it's pronounced just like it looks... like:
"Hen" (like the bird) "rick"
"Vib" (as in fib) "Skav" (with the a being like ah!)


Does anyone know about Marjan Pejoski? I think I read somewhere that Marjan is said like "Marian" but can anyone confirm this?

I did a search thread on Hermes and got a lot of conflicting information.
It seems to be air-mez.
Now I just want to know why the s doesn't get pronounced. Is it because an è with no consonant after it just sound dumb?

^Huh? The 's' does get pronounced, but more like a 'z'. It is 'air-mez'.

How about Moschino?
Some says Moskino while others, moshino...
Which one is right?
The same goes to Bruno Magli...
Is it Maklee or Maylee?

Hermès is the surname of the founder, and Hermes the deity was not the god of making clothes. It is indeed air-mez, but there's no real rhyme or reason to why the consonant is pronounced (as far as I know), it's just one of those peculiarities of French. The exceptions are a pain to learn!
