Yeah, the "rr" sound is difficult/foreign for English speakers so I have no choice. Spelling my surname in English is so unintuitive that I had to learn it like a song.https://twitter.com/gavinoattes/status/1395258688739360771 …

Is it pronounced the same as in Brazilian Portuguese?

Not exactly, but I'll take it! I guess it's a good chance to learn how to make an audio tweet.

"Couldn't guess correctly" or "couldn't manage after it was explained"? I've seen and heard enough Portuguese and been surprised at the difference from my expectations to learn I should probably just ask... Is it more of a devoiced 'r' followed by a hard 'H' in English terms?

(If everyone just spelled their names in IPA we could avoid all this trouble. Even fewer people would be able to get them all right but the guesses would be more entertaining!)
