Reply to: German / Dutch Pronunciation by Serafina Starstrider
The sound at the end of Wiebke is the tricky "schwa" which is written in many ways in many languages. It's pretty much "uh" in English -- it's the u in "but", which is probably why someone transliterated it by using just a u.

Anyway, the pronunciation is, as someone else said, pretty much VEEB-kuh.
