A name with no vowels. Perhaps a member could give a phonetic pronunciation. I wonder what his nickname was?
Slick?
 
In Polish it could be Szłyk or Słyk. Both names exist in the Polish. The difference is the 'sz". The one sound like the Engilish "sh" while the second one just as the "ss". Instead of the "l" there would be the "ł" in Polish. And actually there is no equivalent for the letter pronunciation in the English. However it sounds like the 'w" in the "watch" ( łocz ).

Actually, in Hungarian, SZ is pronounced as S in English, and S is pronounced as Sh.

The Polish language is vise versa, as you mentioned.
