And, to top it all off, a guide based on how to pronounce his name, apparently based on how he says it, is also wrong. Wow.
UPDATE: Messaging every brasilerx i know about this and the best answer is from my cousin: "é pronunciado nunes" ('it's pronounced nunes")
.@aurabogado Did your cousin mean "one syllable, no accent" (like "Gomes" and "Lopes")? Asking for New Bedford & Providence
I think she's being obtuse 
@bijancbayne
Nunes is a family name on my husband's side. They pronounce it Nu-ness.
That makes sense if they're Spanish speakers. It's a different pronunciation in Portuguese. @frecklesnsun
They are Portuguese. It's definitely interesting. I had no idea it wasn't a traditional pronunciation.
Now I'm wondering if people in Brasil for some reason pronounce it differently... @frecklesnsun
believe this is your confusion: i speak brasilian portuguese and never hear the last consonant -ee when i meet european speakers
WOW. So people pronounce it differently in Portugal than they do in Brasil?! @wpbeyer
look i'd say even within Brazil, we pronounce it differently depending on where we are from.
I've only ever heard it one way in the south of brasil... Didn't know it's pronounced differently elsewhere. @NicoleFroio @wpbeyer
i couldn't read the whole thread and sorry if you already have the answer, but it's something like "null-nesss"
I live in Central Calif and know quite a few Nuneses (of Portuguese descent) and NU-ness is all I've heard... except for NOONS.
(I hope NOONS didn't give you a heart attack.)
Valadao pronounces his name unlike any Portuguese that I know with that last name...
