It depends - usually it's pronounced Beecham but as it's derived from French there are some who prefer the original pronunciation. Clem Beauchamp the movie director always pronounced his name Bo-shorm. I guess it depends whether you want to sound posh or not.

when I first heard the american pronunciation of 'entertainment', admittedly, it did sound slightly unusual. regardless of if it is not a topic or something. human beings will nevertheless understand what you're speaking approximately and British human beings are completely conscious that individuals say some issues slightly otherwise. I actually did not understand that individuals reported 'the two' any otherwise. Over here, some human beings start up it with an 'e' sound, others with an 'i'. If that's what you're speaking approximately then there is not any confusion. in basic terms talk the way you often could. human beings won't provide tiny ameliorations like that a 2d theory.

Usually "Beecham" -- which is how it was changed in some branches of the family. You get similar changes with "Belvoir" which is pronounced "Beaver".
