Americans do pronounce his name "Venn Gho", but it is spelled Van Gogh!

Interestingly enough, there are many pronunciations of Van Gogh's name [1] (we French people say "Gog" rhyming with "dog"), but the rarest one is probably the one from his own native Brabant dialect.

I was more so talking about Van Gho the music artist[0], mixed with a bit of Mona Lisa the band[1]. But to each their own
