Silly question, I know...but I refer people to this site all the time, and I know I mangle the name!

I don't know how to say it, but I do know that I say "foe ders" and my friend says "fah ders"

Fodor, rhymes with 'odor' or 'motor'

I've always known it to be "foe-ders"

Strange name; wonder where it's derived from?

Eugene Fodor
born Oct. 14, 1905 Austria-Hungary died Feb. 18, 1991, U.S.


Hungarian-born American travel writer who created a series of popular tourist guidebooks that provided entertaining reading, historical background, and cultural insights into the people and places described, as well as reliable, practical information ...........

Thanks! As of right now, I will quit saying Fo-doors!

I rhyme it with 'motor'.....

Hello modor, hello fodor

How do I get out,
That horses odor?

... check out the current Arch. Digest and see what hangs on Ted Turner's wall. I bet she isn't bothered about horses one whit.

I pronounce it "Fa Doors". Isn't it funny that we all have different pronounications!

JohnD & Scarletto...Great lyrics

That musical interlude from John and Scarlett is all the more appropriate because there is a younger Eugene Fodor who is a classical violinist. Not sure he would relate to the lyrics, though ...

As Ted says, it rhymes with "odor" or, according to this Fodors web page, with "motor."

i hereby pronounce fodor's an irreplacable gem. how lucky we travelers are to have it!

my car has fo-dors.

I pronounce it Fu-doors.

Once I pronounced it - Foe-durs,...and my freinds roared with laughter at my expense and "corrected" my pronunciation. So, now fu-doors!!!

From Fodors "About Us" :

Let's start with the pronunciation: it rhymes with "motor" and it's the surname of our founder Eugene Fodor, who pioneered the concept of the modern guidebook.

You go, Scarlett, more fodder for fodors.
