"My name is Croix, pronounced Kwa"
So you are saying EVERY letter is silent? Dafuq. Parents must have been hipsters.

no, that looks like how it should be. Pretty standard. Like LaCroix

Yeah... I took French in High School and can vaguely remember that it is probably right, it's just hilarious to me that every letter is silent!

The correct pronunciation would be a little more complicated than "kwa", because it would include that crazy, gargling "R" the French use. But "kwa" is pretty close, especially if it's been Americanized. For example, "Favre" = "Farve". Well, it doesn't , but that's where it's ended up after many years of mispronunciation.

Yeah, I figured that r wouldn't be silent, so I am right in poking fun at this! :P
I speak dutch, so that R I can do :P, I sucked at French in high school. And Pronunciation wasn't the problem, it was another -ion word, I think it's motivation...
Little did I know how popular it would be with the ladies here in America. That would have motivated me, why didn't anyone tell me? I would've gotten an A!

That would properly be pronounced as /L-h-fn-/
