It's pronounced precisely as it's spelled (American English) - "Gerchmez." My father is Turkish, and his last name was originally Göçmez (hope that came out correctly, two dots above the o and a "curly cue" under the c). The closest English approximation of the Turkish pronunciation is "Gerchmez" so he had it changed when he came here in the early 1960's. >Please know that you are known. I would prefer to be known only as the Eternal pool of consciousness. In complete seriousness.
