I know this was six years ago but I felt it important to note that the correct polish pronunciation of this polish name is Shen-et-ski.

I always used to say "Skerzeeneck-eee" just before writing it out so I could remember the spelling for it.

OP, I am polish, as was Skrzynecki. It is pronounced S-ksh-i-nets-ki

It is extremely difficult to depict the pronounciation of the individual parts via text, perhaps this will help.

It was always infuriating in high school listening to australians attempting to pronounce the name, but ah well, can't blame them, not being exposed to the sounds of my language from a young age.
