How do you pronounce 'Benguiat' anyway?
I've always blundered through with something like "ben-weight" or "bang-wat." Once I called it "bang-goo-yat," but much laughter ensued.
Peignot is another I have no clue about. I call it Penguin, after one of the cheap knockoffs.

There's some contention here, suggested pronouncations:

"P" like "P" in `Post", "ei" like "a" in "fan", "gn" like "n" in "noon"
plus "y" in "yes", "ot" - long, closed "o" (I don't know English
examples), stressed.

Peignot is easy: penYO. But no "w" sound at the end, homeys.
