Vaguely related: I went to school with a Robert Duquesne and an Elizabeth Duquesne (no relation).

Robert's family pronounced it "Dukain", as in Calleigh Duquesne from CSI. Elizabeth's pronounced it "Du-kez-ne," and would get rather angry if you asked them "Are you sure?" because, well, it's their bloody name, they'd know.
