I pronounce it "Spoh", and I think Spo does too:

I also pronounce Spp "Spəp".

I don't even think I would be able to pronounce Spp.

I tend to pronounce it Spowe.

There's an area in Cardiff the estate agents pronounce Splowe. It's spelled Splott.

Oh, England.

Pronounce Torphenhow, Worcester, Cholmondeley, Gloucester, and Barnoldswick.

I always get confused when both of them are in the same comic, but oh well. This is great to see, I want more.
THERE IS NO PROOF THAT I STILL SHIP A LOT!

I pronounce the name as SP-OH, as in SPOKE, without the KE.

I actually did calculate how many of them there'd be. With each of their names being three letters long, and with the oldest named Aaa and the youngest named Zzz, there'd be 17,576 siblings altogether. That's one big family.

It's possible the oldest was named "A", and we don't know how many there were after "Spp".

in that case, ignoring any hypothetical ones after spp and assuming that all of spo's sibling went from A to Aa to Aaa to Spp
that's 26 + (26*26) to get from A to Zz, so that's 702
then we have from Aaa to Rzz, which is 18*(26*26)=12168
then from Saa to Soz is 15*26=390
then finally Spa to Spp is 16
702+12168+390+16=13276

so Spo would have 13275 siblings at least.

then from Saa to Soz is 15*26=390
then finally Spa to Spp is 16
702+13520+390+16=14628

so Spo would have 14627 siblings at least.
Rzz, surely?
