I've heard the name said 2 ways in French...
But the most common way is...

1st...
The "GU" is hard as in "grade"

The "L's" are not said as an "L". The "ILLE" is a sound of many "I's"
sounding
similar to the word "EYE" only the 1st "E" in eye is an "I" similar to that
in
the word "IT" or "IN".

MOT rhymes with the word MOW as in "mow the grass".
The "T" is silent

So... G-IYE-MOW
