I'm sure glad (for her) that her last name is pronounced PYOO and not PUG.

Otherwise, imagine the kids in school taunting, "PUG NOSE, PUG NOSE."

"The Welsh name Pugh is a patronymic surname created from the Welsh personal name Hugh. "

It's pronounced like the famous English actor 'Pugh Grant' 😁

On the other hand, I've always thought that the pronunciation "pyoo" sounds like what people say when something stinks.

Good point; I didn't think of that.

I pronounce it Puff, like Tough and stuff. Enough?

Yes, I coughed in a trough.

It's "pew". Like the benches you sit on at church.
