correct pronunciation of Iordache's name

I wish gymnastics commentators would come to a consensus of how to pronounce Larisa Iordache's last name. I know this topic of correct pronunciation of "foreign" (to Americans) names has been discussed before, but on the recent televising of the World Championships I heard "Your-dock-ee," "Ee-your-dach (as in "cat")-ee, and even "I-your-dock-ee" and "I-your-dack-ee." Heaven knows Nastia (and she has had enough grief with the pronunciation of her last name), Al, and the rest are paid enough for their commentating, so I should think the least they could do would be to decide how these names are pronounced. Any thoughts?
