I am pronouncing the name as other -an names in Spanish, such as Adrián and Julián. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to bet that the name Froilan carries an accent over the a as well.ET As for not pronouncing the last syllable in words ending with n, I've never heard that, but I've known two Adriáns who both pronounced their names as Adri-AHN, definitely pronouncing and stressing the last syllable. That's not to say, however, that it's not pronounced that way somewhere else.

Also, I wanted to add that I'm not trying to be rude or be a know-it-all, but that is the pronunciation explanation I've always been given during the last eight years that I've been studying Spanish. I respect your opinion and I hope this helps.

ETA: I've discovered that the correct spelling of Froilan is Froilán, via a Google search.
