Common Newbie Question

I've been here awhile, but I've got a stupid question.

How do you pronounce "Spohn"?

Sorry, at least I want to learn.

I've heard: Spawn, Spoon, and Spown.

Still don't know what is correct.

LOL - this is rediculous, I figured there were others that were in the same boat as me, but I didn't think that this many didn't know. I don't believe for a second though that NOBODY knows the correct pronunciation. The people who do know are probably getting a kick out of this though.

It is definitely pronounced "sponn" or "spawn."

"Spoon" is some kind of honda tuner company or something.

Yeah they are sponsors, but I don't think Steve posts here that often. But other sponsors carry their parts, surely they know how to pronounce it. That or some moderators. Anyone?
