Steven C. Barr tried to pronounce these names, reluctant to win a copy of 
the infamous "Doggy"-record:

>> WAUCHOPE
>> WRIOTHESLEY
>> LEVESON-GOWER
>> DUMARESQ
>> CLAVERHOUSE
>> CIRENCESTER
>> CHOLMONDELEY

LEVESON-GOWER - Looson-Gore
DUMARESQ - Doomer'rick
CLAVERHOUSE - Clavers
CIRENCESTER - Sis'ister
CHOLMONDELEY -  Chum'ley

Obvious, isn't it?
But you made Chum'ley.
