    I think Lou DiBella stated this trend.He was the first one to mispronounce the name.

    I can't help it. I've tried to say Frotch instead but Frock always slips out. I think it's because I read his name before ever hearing it and it got stuck in my head.

    Can't believe I've just read 3 pages on how, or, how not to pronounce Froch!

    It just feels like the 'c' should be preceded by a 't'.

    Or a 't' be preceded by a 'c' with a 'unt' inbetween. Something like that.

    Unless somebody can find a 't' in his name he is called Ftoch and it should be pronounced that way.

    ****t? Genius. :good

    It's not like there aren't similar instances of 'ch' being pronounced in the same way.
