How do you pronounce SPOHN
This may seem like a silly question but its been bugging me for the past couple days. Now is it pronounces "Spoon" or do you say all the letters S.P.O.H.N. or is it what ever you make it out to be?

I've met people with that last name. They pronounced it like Spawn, rhymes with "Yawn" or "On." Doesn't mean everyone pronounces it that way though.

Re: How do you pronounce SPOHN
it is pronounced as Spawn. I didn't think so but like Ca[maro]88 that is how they answer the phone. I always thought it was spoon too. I like it better that way, but however.
