how do you pronounce...

child, i'm still trying to figure out some of the names here in the ghetto. that's over my head.

Is that pronounced 'getto' or jetto'? ;) If it's getto, then what's the h doing in the unless it's hiding from the mob? I've always thought a 'h' looks like a dining chair from the side but you have to close one eye or else you see the other pair of legs and then it looks like a spider rearing up for a fight. A H is a short ladder
 
i pronounce my daughter's name as shih (soft ih) vawn (rhymes with lawn) though i've heard others say it 'shah-von' (rhymes with or gone)
 
The one girl I knew with that name (Which I always assumed was German, maybe it is Irish?) pronounced it "Syo-BONN" or "Sho-BONN." I think I had one class with her freshman year and then she left- who knows where she ended up.

Probably just changed her name to something pronounceable.

It's "getto." Italian orthography -- the original ghetto is an island in Venice that was set aside for Jews.
