| Dec 21, 2018 at 16:02 | comment | added | user unknown | @DavidVogt: Nein, der Namensträger hat zwar vielleicht einen besseren Überblick über mögliche und historische Aussprachen seinen Namen betreffend, er kann aber nicht verlangen dass andere den Namen so aussprechen wie es seiner Willkür beliebt. Oft ist er auch gar nicht greifbar um die Frage zu klären. Du kannst zwar so nett sein und den zufälligen Regeln folgen, die jemand aufstellt, ein Anrecht leitet sich daraus jedoch nicht ab. Ich würde auch beispielsweise niemanden, der seinen Namen mit norddeutschem 'St' ausspricht, ebenfalls mit norddt. 'St' ansprechen. | |

| Dec 20, 2018 at 20:59 | comment | added | David Vogt | The Wikipedia article cites a source that claims he pronounced his name "Dirikläh". | |
| Dec 20, 2018 at 20:51 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @DavidVogt : My Question 2 could in principle have bearing on how to pronounce the name of the mathematician, if he or some contemporary wrote down something about how he pronounced his own name. I don't see how the Wikipedia article answers either of my two questions. | |

| Dec 20, 2018 at 18:46 | comment | added | David Vogt | I don't see how the German Wikipedia article does not satisfy your curiosity. Also note that your questions have no bearing on how to pronounce the name of the mathematician. Names are personal: Their bearer has the final say in how they are pronounced. For instance, look at the brothers Dohnanyi (Klaus and Christoph): One of them prefers the Hungarian pronunciation, the other the German one, and that is how they are known. | |
