Should I follow American accent of Scott?

[Amigos4]

I think 'Scott' needs to change his name to 'Joe'!!!!

Thank you, everyone.

Yesterday, I asked how to pronunce "Scott" to two American co-workers of mine face to face.

They said they pronounce it as [Sgat], instead of [skot].

I think you're mistaking a /kʰ/ for a /g/.

Daffodil, you need to check their passports!!!

In AmE Scott is 'S-cot'...Scott!!! There is no 'g' sound! We say 'S-cot-land' for Scotland... there is no 'g' sound!!!!

In the final analysis, if Scott smiles when you say his name you are pronouncing it correctly!!!

Cheers,

I need to concur with amigos4. The consonant cluster /sg/ is not permitted in English onsets and codas.
