To answer Ben, I think the original name, i.e., Mlokosewicz , or Gates
whould be pronounced in Polish or English with the Latin ending pronounced
in the latinate way.

The funny thing is that only English speakers every time wonder how to
pronounce a name . The explanation is simple. There are about 35
different sounds in every language. There are also about the same number
,35, of ways to write these sounds. With one exception unfortunately
.The English has about 800 different ways to write these same 35 sounds.
