A question that's a little off-side, can anyone tell me the correct pronunciation of that name "Choate"?

Just a guess but using the word inchoate as a guide I would say it's pronounced ko-ate.

I have hearded it prounounced with a hard "CH" as in "choke" and a soft "CH" as in "show". The O is always long, and the A and E are always silent.
In other words
Chote
Shote
I would provide diacritical marks, but I can't figure out how.

In Tennessee it is pronounced "Shote" with a long "O" and silent "E".

New a man named Choate. He pronounced his name the same as what we call a baby pig.

A question that's a little off-side, can anyone tell me the correct pronunciation of that name "Choate"?There's a very snotty private school in NYC called the Choate School. It's pronounced "ch-oat" here, just like "boat" with a ch- before the "oat" instead of a "b-".

Bleah, my brain's not working on all cylinders today. Choate's not actually IN New York City, it's a boarding school up in Connecticut. But lots of NYC snotkids go there.
