And I don't know if it's right for the company, but I knew a guy in the Navy named Gallien. The way HE said it rhymed with alien.

But that thought becomes but a whisper, as I bring my fingers to gently caress her neck. Her beautiful, slim neck.
Then, without saying a word, I ease my hands down the length of her body, and slowly remove her G string... |

...since I get to talk to all these folks, I know the answer:
Fodera: Fo-dare-uh
Aguilar: Ag-wih-lar
Gallien-Kruger: Gal-ee-in Krew-ger
We actually had a thread in Misc on the Aguilar pronounciation. |

I've always heard it as "peh-DOO-lah", but some say it's actually "peh-deh-lah", no strongly accented syllable. |
