Maybe someone here can help.

My last name is Hoppe (which is always butchered when people try to pronounce it (hope, hop, etc.)) and all my life I've been told its pronounced hop-e though I have never felt like that is the correct German pronunciation of it. I've asked all my relatives and none of them know how it would be pronounced in German. So if anyone here is from Germany I'd appreciate it if I could get some help finding out how to pronounce my name.

Reading back over this, I can't believe my family's lack of culture.

I'm not German, and I haven't been there in a LOOONG time, but I do recall that syntax rules dictate that all letters be pronounced in the German language. So, Hoppe would be pronounces hop-e

Sorry I can't be more helpful, it's been 15 years.

I am sure there will be many germans here who may be able to help.
