I have a friend named Dashiell (Dah-she-elle), so that's how I would pronounce it...even though I know that it's "wrong" and most people will say it another way.
I am personally inclined to pronounce it Dash-ul though. I don't think it would be rude to ask your friend how it is pronounced though if you are not sure.
There's a boy I teach and his last name is Dashiell. I asked him the first day of school how to pronounce it because I've heard it several ways, he said "Dash-Eel....like Dash Eel...before I eat you" We all laughed and it was a really good icebreaker! SO, given another opportunity...I would pronounce it Dash-Eel
I am personally inclined to pronounce it Dash-ul though. I don't think it would be rude to ask your friend how it is pronounced though if you are not sure.
Its Dash-eel. Its a very very prevalent last name where I live.
It's pronounced DASH-uhl (like the author Dashiell Hammett).

Re: How would you say this name?
I would probably pronounce it this way.
I found this site that has a audio link that pronounces it Dash-eel. However, I don't know how accurate it is.

I'd pronounce it Dash-L because I had a teacher witht this LN.
However in the spirit of La-a, I'd pronounce it: -L
