This isn't a joke; I have to phone this person up and don't want to get it wrong.

If it's German, it is: Vunk' er - but don't pronounce the r.

I think you're in trouble with this one. My guess would be
'w@nk-ee', (I used the @ because this site doesn't like it when I put an a in there) but if it's real important to you, have a friend call first and ask if it's the 'wanker' residence. or some other gross mispronunciation. Most will will correct them, so your friend will learn the correct way to say it, then they can simply hang up, as they don't really care who the person is. (Have your friend use a pay phone though, or some other phone that's not yours, in case of caller ID)

Wancke, is positively pronounced VAN KERR, though my name is now Wilding, until 18 it was Patrick Wancke. Why did I change? Why do you think

It looks like it could be german (which is an assumption, i know, but we have to start somewhere). If it is german, and the individual is "remaining true to his/her german roots", it would be pronounced "VAHN-key" (vahn rhymes with john). If the person has decided to "anglocise" it, the pronounciation might be "WANG-key" or "WANG-ke" (ke sounds like ke in kettle). I'd be tempted to go with VAHN-key...if you're wrong, I'm sure you'll be told, but you just may find he/she will be pleasantly surprised that you got it right.
