Are there any designers or labels whose names your unsure of the pronunciation of?

One that also gets me is Hermes. I'm never sure if it's

Er-may
or
Er-mez

Hermes is like Ehr - Mesz

I sort of stumble with Lacroix... I've never studied French and I always forget how it works

Lacroix is La-cwa.

is it Marajoara

Mara-jo ARA

Maraj ORA
?

Mara-joe-ara

Yves Saint Laurent?

I usually say 'eve sain lauren' (silent y and t) but im not 100% sure

Mara-joe-ara

I always thought it was mara-hwara.
I guess my accent lets me get away with some things

i think hermes is er-mez?

moet and chandon. is it mo-wett? moayyyy? mo-eee? i think somebody posted a link on how to say it before, but everybody argues with me when i say it the way they said in the arcticle!

sort of unrelated but is it brushKetta or brushetta? some italians say one way, some say the other and im confused when im ordering now :(

It's definitely mo-wett.

I've also pronounced Bruschetta as 'bru-schet-ta'.

if they argue about Moet, let them know it's not a french name.
Hermes is definitely er-mez...I interviewed the U.S. CEO and he said it was (also that's how they say it at vogue)

Olivier Theyskens gets me every time
and I think Nicolas Ghesquiere is hard but I've think I got it: Guess-qui-er is that right?

This is a sort of hobby of me and my friend, I love it.
