Eh-lee-eh-zur Yuhd-cow-skee, or Ell-ee-eh-zur, depending on how fast you
pronounce it. My parents almost named me:

Luke Skywalker
Henry, that's H-E-N-3-R-Y, the 3 is silent.
Eliezer Yudkowsky III (the Third). (Note: No ancestors by this
name...)

And, as long as we're doing naming trivia, the S. is for Solomon.
