let's end the last name pronunciation debate once and for all let's parallel this debate with a similar situation in english in the english language there are some names pronounced differently in the united states than in the united kingdom a good example is the name maurice maurice gibb of the bee gees pronounced his name the british way mor ris meanwhile maurice white of earth wind fire pronounces his name the american way more ees i believe we should use the pronunciation that garc a bernal himself personally uses seeing as it is his name therefore the correct pronunciation would be gar si a after all a person can choose however they want to pronounce their own name if he starts pronouncing his name the spanish way gar thi a then i would agree that it is pronounced like that but until he changes the pronounciation himself we must use his pronounciation
