I saw the video and still can't pronounce it. I'll just be calling him Andre for four years.

Since he's Russian I would guess it's guttural

I think he said he was part Basque and Filipino, which accounts for some of the odd pronounciation.

I dunno, from listening to him pronounce it several times in a video interview I can't find anymore (it was from an Oregon news site after he'd committed), I think it's more like Eee-ruray-tago-yehna.

How about "Big A" squashes the opposition"... That headline has a certain roll to it.

That will be interesting, but we could also find Essig knows a little something and says it cleanly.
