I went to school with a boy named Joe Hiscock. They pronounced it Hiss - cock. Believe it or not, it wasn't a problem.

I was stationed with a guy who spelled his last name
APENIS.

I'll leave the pronunciation (think French) to your imagination.

I drove across a bridge named Assawoman Bridge, which, quite naturally, crosses Assawoman Bay. Ocean City, MD.

The tend to pronounce it "Co-sacki." It's much easier to say it that way.

Your word is pronounced "Co-burn," like the actor. Of course, if you've been sunbathing without clothing, that term might apply.

Some years ago I was in a gastroenterogolist's office the place where you go to get a colonoscopy. A old man came who said his name was Reino Aho.
He pronounced the first name as Renal like referring to Kidneys and the last name as a long A + hoe.

One day my wife and I walking through a cemetery and I came across a tum-stone. I stud in disbelief. I called my wife and this is what she read " May the chaos he created in life follow him for eternity"
