How Do You Spell GUILBEAU?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈɪlbə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "guilbeau" is not intuitive. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as "gi(l)bəʊ". The first syllable is similar to the word "jill", but with a "g" sound instead. The second syllable is pronounced like "bow", but with a long "o" sound. The final syllable is like the word "beau", but with a neutral vowel in the middle. The combination of silent letters, uncommon phonemes, and the French origin of the name may add to the confusion of its spelling.
