Yes. I've heard it, myself. Can't recall where or when. Probably on
"reality TV."

OTOH, I don't think that I've ever heard [oUg at l], which, based on the
spelling, would be my choice. But then, I pronounced _Liddell_ of ... &
Scott as "lih-DELL" until corrected here at ADS-L. Back in the day, there
was a jazz musician, the late Johnny Lytle, who was once *very* popular.
I've never heard his surname pronounced other than as "lie-TELL," though,
after seeing it spelled, I went with "LIGHT at l." However, per W:pedia, he
himself pronounced his name as "Liddell."

Youneverknow.
