The name Dougherty


I just looked at this page and realized that the main character was named Dougherty, which is my last name. I have never seen a movie character with that name before. I was wondering if anybody knew how they pronounced the name in this movie. I pronounce my name DOCK - ER - TEE. A lot of time people will say the name DOR - EH - TEE. I was hoping someone remembered how they said the name in the movie. Thanks if you can help

It's been a few years since I've seen this (awesome and highly recommended) movie, but I'm almost positive they pronounce the name "DOH-er-tee", or close to that. Definitely not dock-er-tee, that's interesting though! If you like cheesy eighties movies, this is a good one. Alan Thicke plays violin and melts a tropopkin with his awesome playing...where else can you see that kind of thing!?
