I'm interested in how Luke pronounces Muehlhauser. It is a very German sounding name. But I doubt he pronounces it the way that I would pronounce it, i.e. Mühlhauser.

My own family name, Kruel, is almost always being pronounced wrong since "ue" is usually replaced with "ü" here in Germany. My family name is a special case though, it is pronounced like the English "cruel".
