I hate when I am telling someone his name and I intentionally pronounce it the American way just so they know what name I'm saying. ms access field type codes how to pronounce forecastle. Most of us who speak "American" use Gerry. Due to high call volume, call agents cannot check the status of your application. His friends call him Gerry and made fun of him once when a reporter mistakenly reported that he prefers to be called "GerARD". To Americans it sounds closer to Jarrod or Jared but it's not really because of the rolling "r".
