Well, now it's me not knowing how to pronounce it. Is it lane, or lean? I'll risk the e is silent...

Didn´t come to my mind, however some older people have asked "Glen, like Glenn Miller?" but as of yet nobody has said "Glen, like Blem furniture polish?" For those of you who don't know "Blem" is the Argentine version of "Pledge" wood furniture polish.
