Harry Miller?

I'm serious... would it be pronounced like an 'ummerican or in a Dutch/ZA fashion?

It's pronounced Harry Miller. An Afrikaner would say Harry Miller with an accent. He'd also say Clifford Thornton with an accent.

Lol Coxhill

(First and last. I'd assume the first as in "Jelly Lol Morton", but I may be wrong)

I've always heard his first name to rhyme with doll, not roll. I can't imagine any other pronunciation than cocks hill, except maybe cocksle.

Dakota Staton's last name?

Rhymes with Payton.

Always wondered about that. Thanks.

Reading this because I always wanted to know how to pronounce the name of the owner of Hi Records - Joe Cuoghi. Is it Kwoffee? Kwoguy? Kwoggy?

MG

In Italy it would be coo-oggy.

Ah, I wondered where the name came from. Thanks Bill.

Can't always tell with Italian, anyway. In my youth I had an Italian mate called Pier-Giorgio Kubanski.

Well, I did say "in Italy". Turns out the American Joe Cuoghi wanted his name to rhyme with boogie:
