Can someone explain to me why it's so damn hard for some people to say his name properly? He's been here for years now, get it right. I know it's a petty gripe, but to hear journalists say it wrong, time after time...it's not that hard

He is a close relative of Mickey and Minnie, so you say it: Mouse Kin

Until they started saying " Moose-can "....I always pronounced it " Mus-Quinn ". I don't really know the proper way. I just keep it simple and call him Marv. Haha.

It's French, and I'm Theriot from south Louisinana. My whole family speaks French. It's Moose-can... Got it?

Then you'd be a liar and would owe Martin a apology. Lol

If you can't pronounce Musquin then you can't pronounce Husqvarna. Just pretend the "q" is a "k". To me it sounds like Moose skin

US MXer's have a way with French name pronunciations. My favorite used to be hearing Stanton and Kiedrowksi talk about their teammate "Gene Michael" Bayle. Laughing

The right pronounciation is the one from the video Müsk-1 (one in french), not Moose-can, end of the discussion...

Marvin was asked in an interview once (US) how to pronounce his name & the interviewer give two options of pronunciation for Musquin, & Marvin said he didn't mind which one was used. Is there anywhere MM introduces himself & the presenters take note to get his name correct.
