[grin] That's what my Chinese husband would say, too!
Depending on who transcribed the Chinese name and what part of China the person is from, a general guide:
Ts="ch"
E="uh" if it's at the end of a word, short "e" if it's in the middle
G is a hard G as in ghost, not as in George
Ao="ow" as in "ow, I broke my ankle"
Ui=rhymes with "gooey"
So if it's spelled "Tseng Ge," the name is pronounced "chen guh."
Fortunately, my husband's name is spelled phonetically, so nobody has a problem with it!
