Re: Grisham pronounciation
in reply to a message by Swiff
I've never heard it pronounced other than Gri-sham. It is said to be derived from Gresham, a name famous in the City of London, and that is most definitely pronounced Gre - sham.

I have a client with the last name Grisham and he says it Gri-shum. Just like that, all run together. But he may be wrong. Or I may be.
