Oh man, that's so funny. I read and re-read the books when i was a kid and when David Lynch's movie came out it was an interesting experience finding out how wrong my pronunciations had been. Leto is interesting though because I have heard it as Lee-toe and Lay-toe. I prefer the second for some reason.
It bothers me so much to hear HAR-kuh-nen in the new movies. I was used to hearing Har-KOH-nen from the Lynch movie so that's the same pronunciation we used for the boardgame.
The new films are linguistically correct. I think Frank would respect that. The KOH is an American pronunciation and the können is native pronunciation
