Lot of people looking for Nabokov today.
According to Creelea, the Baxblog's erstwhile Russian correspondant, the correct pronunciation is nahBOWkawv.
Today's assortment of manglings:
NA-ba-kawv (which, to be fair, is how I used to pronounce it)
NOBOW-koff
NAB-KOV
"that dude who wrote LOLITA"
Still, they all get the point across.
