How can I read this French name?

I never learned any French before. And I am going to greet a guest from France tomorrow. Her family name is Vallejo. Anyone here could teach me how to pronunce it in a correct way? Many thanks.

How can I read this French name?
Pronounce it such at it should - spanish way - j is the khota -





Vaa- llle - kho





or Ask the person how to pronounce it - that's french etiquette
Reply:It is indeed of foreign origin, to pronounce it French way it would depend a lot on the double L :


1) If they do not pronounce it :


Va-lay-jo (do not pronounce the d sound in jo)





or


if they pronounce the double LL :


Va-lee-ay-jo (do not pronounce the d sound in jo)





I would go for the first one.
