How do you pronounce Schoenfeld?

I just put a small Shoenfeld muffler on my Camaro and if someone ask what muffler it is, I'm not sure I'd know how to pronounce it. Anyone know?

Re: How do you pronounce Schoenfeld?

It is spelled Schoenfeld, a Germanic name meaning roughly "Beautiful field", and in German would be pronouced "shern-feldt".

However, very few of us speak German anymore, and being in the South for years, the family is much more likely to pronounce it like Loneroads' example. When it comes to a name, it is pronounced the way the person who has the name says it is pronounced.
