Bean noted : Some names just don't follow the innate "patterns" which English-speaking people have grown up with.

A gentleman named Kane (pr. Cane in English) was visiting Hawaii (part of the USA last time I looked) and had need for a Doctor for a bad sunburn.
He sat in a waiting room for about an hour and a half as one person after another was called. Finally he asked why he had not been called only to discover he had been called four times. The problem? The nurse had used the Hawaiian pronunciation for Kane : KA-nay.
Live and learn.
