Who put the ming in Menzies

Why is Menzies pronounced Mingis?

Thank you to the BBC for helping clear up why Sir Menzies Cambell has such a strange pronunciation of his first name.

There are some notable comments at the bottom too, my favourite is this:

"... Jean Harlow was at a dinner party and kept on addressing Margot Asquith (wife of prime minister Herbert Asquith) as MargoT (pronouncing the 'T'). Margot finally had enough and said to her "No Jean, the T is silent, as in Harlow"

Oh you don't find it funny? Then stick two fenzers up your ass.
