Simple question difficult answer, if you know how to pronounce Antoinette, Toine should be easy. Twone maybe. My last name "Kuiper" is difficult. Sometimes I hear my name on Discovery and such if they have something about astronomy and "the Kuiper belt", the place where comets come from. It's always pronounced as "koiper" which is wrong. The french pronounce it as Quipér which is also wrong. In dutch we pronounce it as "kuiper" :)
