    Can anyone tell me how to pronounce this Polish name?

    Wlodkowic

    Does the ‘W’ sound like a V? Is the final ‘c’ hard, as in ‘…wik’ or '...vik'? Or maybe it’s ‘..witz’ or '...vitz'.

    Thanks.

    I entered Wlodkowic in google translate then clicked the polish speaker icon.
    Sorry I tried to link to the google page but the link forgets the word.

    I would think "Vlodkovitch" won't be far off. Or indeed Vlodkovitz, as others have suggested.
