Jeff,

My two cents worth is that you should pronounce the name exactly the way it
is written in English.  After all, the people in St. Cloud Minnesota don't
say San Clood, nor would a Frenchman even understand your American
pronunciation of rendezvous (or at least he would turn up his nose). By the
way, I understand the whole name is Adolphe-Laurent-Anatole-Marcq de Blonde
de St. Hilaire

Ken
