To all whom it may concern:
 
The version of our surname offered up by the recorded young lady, in a tone of voice that itself sounds unconvinced, is neither oaky nor okay. 
ADH, are you an acronym of "a dead horse"? Why beat yourself when you can consult the mouth of a horse that is still alive? I suggest that Webster and its phonetics-challenged fellow-travelers folk off and stop telling me how to pronounce my own name.
