There are lots of foreign names, places, things that are pronounced differently by English speakers.
They can pronounced Italy well, but not Iraq, for example. Padilla is pronounced Pa diya. Castillo, Cas tiyo. Donaire is really not Do nayre, but Do nye re...

Many years ago I used to think it was Doņaire with the squiggly N, as in "Don-yeer".

is about closest i can think of if you want a spanish(argentine) pronunciation
and really dont go on the way broadcasters pronounce foreign names, they aint got a damn clue, especially the english commentators. theyre getting paid to say these guys names, they could at least spend 5 minutes asking and practicing before making a tit of themselves
