How would you pronounce this word? I had an uncle with that name.

He pronounced his name like this: "Ya' - ss". Like saying "Yacht" but with "es" sound instead of "ta" at the end.

I have heard people pronounce it "Ig - nuss."

Out of all my long years, I have never even heard of another man named Ignace.

I'd pronounce it as "Hey!"

So, did anyone actually Google "Joseph-Ignace" to get the joke?

Thanks for the video Craig. The way he pronounced it in French was exactly how my other aunts and uncles called him. I always thought they were saying "And Ya-ss". Hearing him say the word...  that was a wow moment for me!! All my cousins and I just always called him Uncle Ya-ss. 

Man.. the things I learn around here!!
