Rubyred is correct IF you are pronouncing it AS a German name.  But if the person with the name is an American of German descent, they will not pronounce it that way, since English lacks this vowel sound.   \n\nThere are two basic solutions -- both involve adopting the English pronunciation of ONE of the vowels as long and ignoring the other.  (In any case, the h is silent, as it is in German.)\n\n1) ignore the U and say "BEE-ner"  (This SOUNDS more like the German pronunciation)\n\n2) ignore the E and pronounce "Bue" as rhyming with "cue", thus saying "BYOO-ner"  (I suppose some might say "BOO-ner",. though I've not seen that.)\n\nI think #1 is the more common resolution.  (Compare this to the name "Boehner" [that of the current majority leader in the House of Representatives], another umlauted German name, which is pronounced "BAY-ner" in English)\n\nexample from the web:\n"Buehner, Mark (illustrator of Fanny's Dream)\n        Pronounced BEAN-er"\nhttp://mainst.monterey.k12.ca.us/library/libpg/Dictionary/dict.html

Well, you don't wanna sound like daffy duck by saying "filippines" which can sound like filiffines or pilipino...w/ too many hard p sounds. I think it's spelled that way for ease in pronounciation.
