The correct pronunciation is (DVOR-zhahk). This is one of my family names. The háček over the r creates a fricative trill that makes an r sound with a zh-sh combination sound. Very unique to Czech and Slovák languages. Can be quite difficult to pronouce at the begining of a word.

Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Better alternative to Abate. Not very common, too. Would recommend.

Another word combination surname. I'm not a fan of them, and this one just sounds long winded and terrible. I know this is not an English surname, but the pronunciation seems too complex (at least for me).

Decent name. The pronunciation sounds cool and the word origin is interesting. Not a fan of the spelling, though.

A very long name. Doesn't sound pleasant, and makes the spelling look jumbled up. I'm not a fan of word combination names, and this hasn't exactly changed my mind.

Don't like this name. Too long, and makes the pronunciation sound wrong. The word origin isn't interesting either.

It's an okay name. The origin isn't anything really interesting, the pronunciation is fine, overall just an average name.

Don't recommend this name. Pronunciation is terrible, and there is an obvious word link that people can use to deride the name.
