French speakers-- How to pronounce my favorite poet's name?

[Universal Mind]

My favorite poet is a French surrealist named Robert Desnos. When I mention his name to people, I always am totally unsure of how to say his name. I know that the American way of pronouncing those words would be way off, so I always have to mention that I'm not sure how his name is pronounced. I can't find the right pronunciation anywhere on the internet. I figure that it is probably something like "Ro-bay-day-no" or "Ro-bare-dain-yo" or something, but I don't know. I thought there might be some French or French Canadians on this site who would know. Can anybody tell me? Thanks.

Robe-Air Dess-Know-ss, as a French speaker I'm pretty sure that's how it's said.

You don't pronounce either 's' in the last name.

You sure? I know as separate words "des" and "nos" you wouldn't pronounce it, but I've always heard Desnos with S's pronounced, even by my French lit teachers. Not pronouncing the S's sounds weird, but I guess I can't be positive until we get an official source or something.

I suggest looking up the name on google video. you will find a documentary about him in French, which I'm sure mentions his name at some point. I'm not fluent in French though so I can't understand what he's saying and its too fast for me to hear it.
