Pronunciation help
There are three last names I'm having trouble pronouncing. I believe I have it, but don't feel confident.
Agresta (It's Ah-gress-tah, right?)
Kysely (kie-slee?)
Patel (Pah-tell, am I correct?)
Again, I think I have these, but feel nervous about using these pronunciations when it matters.
Thank you in advance!

Kysely seems to be Czech... it means "sour" in Czech. It's three syllables. "Ky" as in "kit", "se" as in "set" and "ly" as in "leader".
I think you're right with Agresta and Patel; perhaps a slight emphasis on the -tel in Patel. On Kysely I can't comment, as I've never heard of the name.
You pronounce them just as I would. I don't know how they really are pronounced, but usually names are pronounced as they are spelled, so I think you're right.
