Yes. And you know those French. They HAVE to be different.
THEY ARE COWARDS WHEN IT COMES TO WAR. ABSOLUTE WIMPS.
Alain is adorable, though. I heard he has a tattoo on his bum.

alain's mother is french. the french pronunciation is quite nice, but in general, if you live in an english-speaking nation and you have a french name, you pronounce it the english way. (i have a french surname and i pronounce it with an american accent, simply because it's easier for people.) hope that helped a little bit.
