> May I take this opportunity to highlight to our American friends that its not pronounced as Nay-Paul. No. Its pronounced as Nay-Paal.
Er, while it's not a construct that appears much in English to start with, I'm fairly sure the natural phonetic interpretation of “Paal” to many and perhaps most American readers would be identical to “Paul”, so that's a non-helpful correction.
Also, I'm pretty sure the “Nay” part is not part of the (English) pronunciation; this source[0] gives what I would write out informally as “nih-PULL” as the UK pronunciation and “nuh-PALL” as the US pronunciation.
