I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "El-Mer" not "Meer".

Elmyr de Hory's name is pronounced El-meer AFAIK. If we have any Hungarians who can clear up the pronunciation, I'll reconsider, otherwise it's El-meer.
DeletedUser
that was how I was saying it every time I would type it down
DeletedUser
When I first read it, I thought it was pronounced El-meer
DeletedUser
Meer as in mere, right?

e [e]: as in "pen." Same as one of e's many uses in English, anyway.
L [l]: As in "lip." Same as in English.
m [m]: As in "woman." Same as in English.
(no "y" I will use "I" because I is sometimes y in different langueges)
í [i:]: As in "see." Again, this is a long vowel. Don't short change it.
r [ɾ]: The Hungarian r is rolled slightly, not trilled. In linguistic terms I believe the sound is known as a "flap;" it is like what occurs in the middle of the American pronounciation of "butter" when it's said quickly.
that might help if not here is the link

As I've always assumed. For more information, read Robert Anton Wilson or see Orson Welles' F is for Fake.

Elmer, in Hungary, is pronounced El-meer. Just as Bugs Bunny is pronounced Bugs Bun-nee.

Take a leap of faith, you are familiar with the concept of beliving something wich most certainly is not true.
DeletedUser
I don't. I didn't say he was Chuck Norris. I also didn't assume he wasn't Chuck Norris.

Hellstromm is Chuck Norris. It's the only thing that explains everything.
