Hi Scott,
Fine, if there are ressources to get the pronunciation of proper names in
the web. I just tested http://hearnames.com/.
Tried  out to find out the pronunciation of the name of the Austrian
chancelor: No rsult.
Anyway, we want to understand by listening and not by googleing.
Wolfgang

There are many sites that have recordings of names to help others with
pronunciation:
