Totally going on the sound rather than the meaning (I never read the Titus Groan books). Gormenghast associates in my mind with ghastly. The Gashlycrumb Tinies are a childhood memory. My dad read them to us. I always pronounced it Ghastlycrumb since I listened to it before I learned to read.
Bruce ( extra points if you get the reference! ( bruce was the name that the film crew of Jaws the movie, gave to the mechanical shark/s that were used in the film. One of the Bruces is still available as a photo op at Universal Studios Theme Park Orlando ( a non mechanical one as I understand) , even though the Jaws ride/experience is closed ( diagon alley is in that area now ) .
