Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 ... after all this time I'm still not sure how to pronounce Jeurys Familia's first name.I've heard "Joris" (rhymes with "Boris")And Jay-oris.And Jay-or-reese.And "Jairiss" (First syllable rhymes with "Hair")And I recently heard Daniel Murphy refer to him as "Yoris" which, probably, is the most accurate. Can't we get this settled?
seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I've always assumed, from my limited knowledge of Spanish, that it's Hay-yoor-eese. (Rhymes with geese at the end.)
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I still have trouble pronouncing "tihnk."

soupcan Old-Timey Member Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I've been saying Jer-EESE (ryhmes with 'geese'), no?
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 I think only his mother knows for sure. (Someone invite her to join us in this forum.)
Guest d'Kong76 Guests Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Wikipedia just makes it even more puzzling:Jeurys Familia (Spanish pronunciation: [?xeu?is fa?milja]
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Next time Steve Gelbs interviews him, he should just ask, "Se�or Familia, how the fuck do you pronounce your first name?"
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I just go with Jerry Family. If nothing else it confirms the reputation of Americans as clueless and xenophobic gringos.

Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Trust the guy who, y'know, calls him by name several hundred times a year, to his face. It's "Hyoo-ris"/"Yoo-ris."
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I have this feeling that we will soon be wondering how to pronounce Hochevar.Later
