Hool-uh-han Low-Key
Hou-li-fuck-do kids get interviews without knowing that Google will literally say the name out loud?
love the tag 'HL restructuring pronunciation'
Can somebody please rank the different pronunciations?
It's pronounced "Houlihan Lokey".
Wow. Really?
First go to TV Land or MeTV and figure out when MASH is on. Or better yet find the 1970 movie. Watch it until the pronounce Hot Lip's last name. That's the first word. Now watch a Thor movie and figure out how they pronounce his evil brother's name. That's the second word.
Or call the office and when the person on the other side of the phone answers listen really carefully to how she says the name.
Hool uh han Low-Ki maybe?
