I am older than you. My guess was always Zbigniew Brzezinski. My family comes from Kiev and I was still always amazed that newscasters could wrap themselves around that name. Especially since, for a long time, they couldn't get Beijing and, instead, turned this into Peking. This is why one might still see something like "Peking Duck," on a menu from an old Chinese restaurant that hasn't updated it's selections since they began business just after the Second World War. And, as an aside, that is not a play on the words "Peeking Duck," or even "Peaking Duck." Nah--it is just the long ago anglicized way westerners referred to Beijing stuck beside a deceased, orange-coated waterfowl. But my pick for the most difficult name to pronounce may not be yours. I would think it would depend on the nationality of the speaker.
