/lit/ - Literature

Hey /lit/ I figured you would be the guys to ask this to

I am going to be meeting a client in a couple hours for lunch and I am unsure if his name is supposed to be pronounced differently

His name is Maximillian spelt with two l's

Now I feel like an idiot for asking but i dont know if you are supposed to pronounce it different with two l's when there is usually one

Do i say it the same or do i put mor emphasis on it? does it sound lighter or what, i kindof have no clue

thanks for any input, flame bumping is okay too since this does seem like a really stupid question
