Jeffrey Combs better known as Weyoun, Brunt, Shran and many others - how do you say his surname? As in what you use to detangle your hair? Or more like Cooms?

Apologies for the stupidity of this question, but I’ve only ever seen his name written down.

I’ve heard him introduce himself in a video, pronouncing his name as you would a hair comb.

I've always pronounced it like the thing you use in your hair.
