the name Champagne?
I was intoduced to a girl from down on Bayou Teche and she gave me her business card. On the card her last name is Champagne, but she didn't pronounce like you would the alcoholic beverage of the same spelling. I didn't really catch the way she pronounced it.

Call her up and ask her to come over and teach you how to pronounce it.
