Ulrik had a good point in writing these names right. Next step would be right pronaunciation according to name's origin.

Let's start with "Rolleye".
When ei is used in the german language it is pronounced "I" as in Leica.(Goldstein=Goldstyne)When ie is used it is pronounced "e" (Bronstien - Bronsteen)
Well that's the way I was taught when I learned the language. Ulrik...any comment?
