樂 - mandarin = yue; cantonese = ngau I have always pronounced this in Cantonese as Lok. a lot of people mispronounce the surname, including those <i>with</i> the surname!

as a further note on the whole surname discussion, i found this great site: www.mychinaroots.com/search/surnamesyou can search for surnames based on romanization. what's great is that they have lists of variations (differences in spelling) of the surnames from around the world because most of the overseas chinese would not have had their surnames spelled the standardized pinyin way. and they even list the most likely place of origin for the surname. enjoy!
