I've always said Pah-lo, but I guess I knew if it was right or not.

I think you have an answer by now, but it's definitely "Paul" and then "O"

Edit: Or you could look at it as "Pa" (as in grandpa as previously stated) and then "low"

 

[Naughtius]

Right; pa like in grandpa.

So...Booboo Billsnyderlo?

No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard. Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.

That could be pronounced a lot of different ways. It all depends on how the vowels are pronounced. And if any letters are silent. So I can see how it's always pronounced wrong.
