Default Re: Evelyn Waugh: Brideshead Revisited

I have questions:

Why are the father and the mother called Lord and Lady Marchmain while Julia and Sebastian are called Flyte? I am guessing it is something to do with their title or the house they own.

How do you pronounce "Waugh?"

I always read, first, Introduction to a book if given. Introduction compares Brideshead Revisited, though in comparatively moderate scale, with A la Recherche du temps perdu by Proust. I guess I will pick up a volume after Du côté de chez Swann soon.
