As in Freddy Krueger, from Nightmare on Elm Street.

The Name Game
In an interview over the weekend with CNN’s Headline News, Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger, who also had a huge hit in 2002 with the track ‘Hero’ – with Josey Scott- from the “Spider-man” soundtrack, said that everyone has been saying his name wrong.
“…it’s pronounced Crew-ger, like Freddy Krueger. Not Crow-ger.”
In January, Nickelback received a Grammy nomination for record of the year (“How You Remind Me”). Kroeger’s hit “Hero” garnered three nominations.
The Grammy Awards will be handed out Feb 23. How do you think they will pronounce his name?
