My sisters were huge Bee Gees fans back in the 1970s and Maurice was their favorite Bee Gee. They gave me to understand that MAWR-is was the go-to pronunciation for Maurice in both Australia and the UK and that's why Maurice Gibb's name was pronounced that way.

Anyway, I'd have to make a real effort to say MAWR-is if I saw it as Maurice. I prefer the MAW-REES pronunciation because that's what comes naturally to me.
