Dear PoPville

QUESTION: How do YOU pronounce Quackenbos?

“Dear PoPville,

My husband and I just bought a house on Quackenbos Street.

There is a point of contention: Is it pronounced quack-en-BOSS or quack-en-BOSE? We’ve heard both pronunciations and Google isn’t giving a well-cited answer.

Any insight would be amazing!”

What’s the way you say it?!?
