Okay, How does one properly pronounce the name "Rohrbaugh"?

Roar-baw; subject to correction, of course.

That's how the the brothers pronounce it...  Except with a slight New York accent.   ;)

I asked Maria if it was like a lion and a lamb, she laughed and said yeah.  ;)

The lamb bleat would be something like 'baa; not quite the same as "baw" which is not the flat "a" as a lamb tone. That would be similar to the duck in the Aflac ads.

I think the Roar Law but Law with a B .. Baw. is the best written
pronunciation explanation . Cool name for sure  :)
I now attempt the use a light New York accent when saying it.  Fun.

Thank you gentlemen for your replies.  I thought it was roar-baa.
I really like the lion and lamb reference Tom.  Good one.
Well described Tracker.

I had someone "correct" me at a sporing goods/gun store that told me it was Row-baa...no lion, only lamb.  We were near the boating department.



I also go with toe-may-toe and poe-tay-toe, but am good with either ahh-men or ay-men when referring to the One whom is both the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God.
