It should *really* be pronounced "Fungy".
I'm not kidding. It's one of those weird names that are pronounced totally
differently to what you would expect. Like:
Cholmondely - "Chumley"
Featherstonehaugh - "Fanshaw"
Cockburn - "Coburn"
Grosvenor - "Grovenor"
Mainwaring - "Mannering"
Marjoribanks - "Marshbanks"
Home - "Hyoom"
St John - "Sinjen"
Wodehouse - "Woodhouse"
