The sound of the first word "Bon" is the same sound as in bonfire or bond without the 'd'. The sound of the second word "Homme" is mostly silent and is the same sound as in mom without the first 'm'. The sound of the third word "Richard" is the French sound for Richard with emphasis on the soft second syllable like the sound in the name "Char"lotte or the color "char"treuse. When pronouncing the full name you would concatenate or run together the first two words with emphasis on the second word. This would result in the name sounding like "Bǒn´ǒm Ree´shär". I served on the attack carrier USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) from 1966 -1969. And like her namesake captained by John Paul Jones, this grand lady served her country well and faithful.
