You mean Americanize.

Van Gogh should be pronounced Van Goch, if in doubt, the rule is ask the person, not some guy who can't be bothered to learn to pronounce it.

Yet oddly if you visit the Van Gogh collection in Holland, even the curators will pronounce it as Van Go when speaking English... we also saw the collection in Vienna, same.
