Throwing one in for Niklaus Wirth because he said:
Whereas Europeans generally pronounce my name the right way (‘Ni-klows Wirt’), Americans invariably mangle it into ‘Nick-les Worth’. This is to say that Europeans call me by name, but Americans call me by value.

Amazing quote!
Probably the closest way to pronounce the name as an American would be “Virt”, with “i” pronounced as in “will”.
Honorable mention: German Hacker, who is, sadly, a politician.

hey, we are seeing what trying to build a “utopia” through technological process looks like. We need more good lawyers and politicians so that the rules of the game help guide us to the right path.
Ada Lovelace
She’s a great engineer but do you think she preferred velvet or lace?
Browse Linux credits for some funky names. My favorite is Jos Vos.
Me.
There is only one valid answer: Matt Blaze
