I always thought it was h'soo with an almost silent 'h'.

Almost like just regular su, but with a sharper 's'.

I could be mistaken though. I'm sure the people you know would know better how to pronounce their own names than I would.

I've been told that it's just "Su" ... (with a long u)

I know one girl who has a last name of Hsueh and also says it's pronounced "su" ^^;

Take the Korean last name "Seo." Why spell it like that when it's easy to pronounce in English by simply writing "Suh"?
why you gotta be using my last name, foo.
