Vaughan

Hi,
I am just wondering how to pronounce Vaughan which I come across sometimes. Sometimes i heard people read it like Vaun? is that right? Should there be a gh sound?

Thanks,

Ryan

No 'gh' sound, Ryan. Pronounce 'Vaughn' like 'on', 'caught', 'fought'.

Ryan,

It's pronounced like lawn or yawn. The 'gh' in 99% of English words is silent.
