In Response To: Pronunciation? (Rick C.)

Mark's link to my web page may not be all that enlightening for some. Using a different phonetic spelling convention:

GIL-uh-mot with a hard "g"

or you could try:

GEE-la-mot

The accent is on the first sylalible.

My appologies to all those who want to stick with standard French, but that is how it is pronounced in this country.

I suppose from a purely marketing stand point, I could have chosen a better name for my business, but I like the bird. I figured nobody else would already have it. I was almost right someone else got the domain name guillemot.com about a week before I tried to get it. :-(
