Boo-cher? Bow-cher? Bow-ker? Butcher?
Boo-sher... how about Boo-shay?
There are many ways you could
pronounce Boucher, but people in the know pronounce it one of two ways:
boo-ker or booker. In fact, Boucher was originally spelled Bougher,
supposedly an Americanized spelling of the German surname Bucher. Boucher Hill is named after
William Bougher, a pioneer from
Ohio who came to San Diego county in the late 1880's and homesteaded on Palomar Mountain in the early 1900's when it
was still called Smith Mountain.

Wrong spelling, right pronunciation...
maybe.
