Bruce Coville: Hello. This is Bruce Coville. And it is CO-VEL; sounds sort of like "oval." If we're being very careful, we might say CO-VILL, but mostly we just kind of slur it a bit and say CO-VEL, because we are sloppy upstate New York speakers.

The thing I could tell you about my name is that it would not be my name had my father not been adopted by his aunt. He was born Arthur Farrington, and my full name is Bruce Farrington Coville. Farrington being the name I would've had, had he not become adopted.
