How do you think Erwin Pries pronounces his last name?

Prize as it is a homophone with pries as in to pry, or to meddle into someone else’s business. It also rhymes with spies which Erwin, as a conspiracy theorist, would probably do a lot of—prying and spying.

This is what I reckon. Erwin was prying that day. Erwin Pried (past tense simple), Erwin Pries (present simple.)

In that case I’d pronounce it as “Prize” or “Price”.

I say “Price” because of my ridiculous accent.
