So That's How You Say It

You've just finished an amazing book and you can't wait to tell someone just how damn fantastic it is. After listening to you babble on for a few minutes, your friend kindly asks you the book's author and your exchange goes something like this:

"Michael cha-BONE."
"Oh yeah, you mean Michael SHAY-bahn."
"Is that how you say it?"
"Er, I thought so..."
