I think, Susan, that your nit is quite a big one. I would never rhyme Van Gogh with anything for the same reason. I've no idea how it is pronounced - certainly not 'Van Goff' which is what we say, or 'Van Goe' which seems to be preferred by Americans. Tricky language Dutch.

There are those who pronounce it Van Goff
But I think that's decidedly off
And as for Van Go,
That's bollocks, you know.
It's more of a guttural cough.
