How to pronounce mathematicians names

[matticus]

I know that Euler is pronounced Oiler, and Galois is Gale-Wah. Can anyone try to write phonetically Stieltjes, Lebesgue or any other mathematicians whose names which may be tricky.

 

[Tac-Tics]

One of my analysis books lists Lebesgue as "leh-beg", I think.

And don't forget Erdos "air-dish".

Another funny one is "de Broglie", though he wasn't strictly a mathematician.
