How's it pronounced? edit

Does anybody know whether his surname is pronounced with a hard (velar) g-, i. e. as in get, or with a soft (palatal) one, i. e. as in gentle?

Thank you very much.

I can't find "Gifford" specifically, but names of English origin beginning with Gi are always, as far as I know, pronounced with a hard g. --Alan W 03:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
