How would you pronounce the surname "Theurer", if it belongs to an American? I'm going with a lisping "Sawyer", but maybe you know better. (Hmm, a Google-found page suggests "Tyrer".)
I spent a decade in Maine, home to many folks with French names which are generally pronounced as originally conceived, and then you have cities like Calais, which is officially pronounced like "callous". (Even by its francophonic population, afaik.)
