:lmao at SW and Timvp.

I have the same last name as a certain NBA referee.

No relation, though.

I get confused with the whole 'Udrih' thing, also. I finally said, "Ah forget it, it's OOODRRREEE" So that's what I go with. Makes more sense then--> Oodrick. What in the hell? ---Kristina

Wow, that got resurrected from being posted a year ago. Welcome BenoUdrih92.

My friends and I asked Beno at the railing last year how to pronounce his full name. He told us we could call him just Beno. :lol


btw, He pronounced it like this:

We can't pronounce it because we don't have the German "ch" sound in English. Most other languages have it. British English even has it for some adopted Gaelic words like "loch." We Americans don't use it.

In German, it would be "Udrich."

In Castilian Spanish (not Mexican), it would be "Udrix."

Or if you meet a person who says "Mexico" more like 'Me-hhhhhhhhhi-co" than "Me-i-co," that's the sound. Or if somebody pronounces "Ixtapa" or "Freixenet" correctly.

In English, the best I can tell you is that the sound is halfway between "sh" and "ch," or else like a hissing cat, or like a very hard "h."

Beno's name was misspelled on the first uniform jersey he was issued. It was spelled U-D-R-I-C-H. I saw a short clip of him being asked how to pronounce his name once...he said "OO-DRUCH" , but the last part is very gutteral, almost like CK (as in "click). We just don't have that particular sound in our version of the English language. But, Beno did not pronounce it OO-DREE in the clip I saw.

When you finish saying "Udrih," pretend you have to hock up a loogie, and that will be close enough to the correct pronunciation.

Who cares? He's gone.
