Als-heimers, or Ahlzheimers?

[trof]

OK. I could look it up, but how do you pronounce it?
I go with Ahlzheimers.

1. It is a German name...

ahlts heimers

(z in german is "ts")

[trof]

4. OK. I like that.

2. zzzzzzz

Though there isn't much difference.

3. German...Allz-high-mers

5. I'll take the "neither" option, thank you

very much... :scared: :(

. . . It's the one with the "z", by the way. :-)

Sorry, it's too late for me to look for fancy word bits sounding similar :hi:

[Bluebear]

6. German: ULTS-eye-mers would be closest

Z is pronounced with a "tz" kind of sound.
