Rhymes with marvelous. At least that's how I pronounce it. (And Charlie Margulis, no relation, had an album called "Marvelous Margulis," suggesting that's how he pronounced it). My dad pronounced it MAR-gyuh-lis, but I was never able to wrap my tongue around the "gy" sound. My mother and sister followed his lead, though. My grandparents, who brought the name with them from Russia, drew out the first syllable a bit (not quite a rolled R) and put more oo into the unstressed u, but that was consistent with their Russian accent. I think my pronunciation follows theirs more than my dad's.

Other families, of course, can pronounce the name as they see fit. I know some people stress the second syllable and end up with mar-GOO-luhs. But the question was how I pronounce it, not how someone else does.
