How is the North European surname "Schitter" pronounced?

Question

I need to know because I need to announce the person's name at a ceremony.

Answer 1

I think it's pronounced..."rek--toom"

Answer 2

Ask the person. I've heard it pronounced with a long "i", so it is like "Shy-ter" or "Shy-der"

Answer 3

Exactly as you might think :o)

as in Schitzu !

Answer 4

Unfortunately, the correct original pronunciation is probably exactly as you'd think. However, the name's owners may have changed the pronunciation for that very reason--someone mentioned it having a long "i"; well, that would be why the "i" was long. Definitely ask the person (tactfully!) if you get a chance.
