Julie, having lived for over 30 years in what is called "the westernmost parish of Louisiana," I can attest that no matter how you first attempt to pronounce a Cajun name you'll be wrong:
First-day Roll-call
Mr. Hee-bert
silence
Mr. Ay-bear
Here!
Ms. Ay-bear
Silence
Ms. Hee-bert
Here!
Mr. Go-trow
That's pronounced "Gowtrox."
