Well, I'd pronounce the first name such that it rhymed with "drillin'" and
the second such that it rhymed with "hairy". Of course, attempting to
utter such pronunciations underwater would likely obfuscate the purity of
my speech and render the effort something like "Dilly Puree, glug glug".
Fortunately, the English tend to garble their words and are used to
deciphering relative babble as a consequence.
