    He says N-G on the website. Just say the letters.

    Yes, pronounced En Gee.
    Isn't it Chinese origin?

    All the Crewe fans were saying that's how it is pronounced.
    My Girlfriend whose first language is Cantonese is adamant it should be pronounced eeng

    I think you maybe right. In my previous job we used to have dealings with a dentist with the same surname and realising that nobody could pronounce it correctly, he was happy to be called Dr Engee to save people's embarrassment.

    If he's of Singaporean background, on probability it's more likely to be mandarin than Cantonese.

    However I know people with the surname Ng of both mandarin and Cantonese speaking heritage and i don't think there's much difference.

    Should there be a vowel sound? My understanding is there isn't. It's just the nasal 'ng' from ring or the Chinese surname wong.

    I expect having lived in the West for so long, he's ok with En-Gee for an easy life.

    Aren't you confusing Perry Mason (played by Raymond Burr but not in a wheelchair) with Ironside (played by Raymond Burr in a wheelchair)?

    A lot of immigrants change the pronunciation of their names and other words. You should hear the shit Italian Americans come out with.

    Copying and Pasting your Tinder profile isn't doing it for me I'm afraid. I'm worth more than that.

    Perry himself has said it's N-G. That's good enough for me.

    We pronounce every single Portuguese name incorrectly, also.

    All we really need is to hear the commentary team on radio wales to get the correct definition of course, as they are always spot on

    I don’t know, they’re a pain in the arse at times. Ok for cooking & cleaning though, I s’pose.

    There are a lot of Portuguese around here too. I've noticed many people tend to pronounce Portuguese names as if they are Spanish, which as you say, is completely wrong. I know a guy called Marco Nunes (pronounced noonis) most people pronounce it noon-yez.
