How is Mister Potato Head's name pronounced? In the States, I have heard "Van Haal" and "Van Gual".

I genuinely haven't got a clue. I've heard them both over here. I think it's Haal. A previous famous Dutchman was Ruud Gullit ... that was pronounced Hullit.

I am pretty sure most native English speakers can't pronounce his name correctly anyway (aka the Jean-Luc Picard syndrome). At 0:37 in this video you can hear his name https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X61qV7M7UAA.
