Touhy and Schein - pronunciation

[pied_piper]

Hi, first time here and a big problem... Perhaps you could help me out - how
do you pronounce the above names? I'd be grateful if you could help...

[pied_piper]

oh, that post of mine was rather hasty... I forgot to add - if any of the
regulars would be ready to assist... just send the account number to my box...
name the sum...
Yeap, I didn't mean to go against the rules of the place

It depends where they come from, what language their names are in and where
they live now, I suppose, so you have to be more specific.
Schein looks German, if it's the original spelling, but possibly Yiddish or
Dutch, and maybe his/her family's lived in the US for 3 or 4 generations. And
Touhy looks like a Czech name, but the same "buts" apply. Who are these people?

Edgar Schein - educated in the USA
David Touhy is Irish. Both work and publish in the field of education... That's
all I know really since I'm trying to help somebody else...

well, in the worst case if you have to spell it rather than pronounce it like
that robot does, at least you can blame it on the robot!
