pronunciation
I am interested in how other Sudduth family members pronounce their surname.My family pronounces it so that both syllables rhyme with suds ( my youngest son's high school nickname).The two times I have met other Sudduths outside our immediate family they pronounced it the same way.I have been told that our pronunciation follows the American grammatical guidelines.However, almost universally, strangers pronounce it so both syllables rhyme with suit.Before caller ID that identified telemarketers rather quickly.The worst butchery of the name was by a college dean who had a phonetic spelling to assist her.I can not even immitate her pronunciation much less describe it.
Do other Sudduths pronounce their name as we do or is another form more common?
