I knew alot of Muellers where I lived. We more or less pronounced it as a variation of "Miller". The "i" was softer with a lazy pronouncation as a opposed to Miller. That's how you could tell Miller from Mueller without seeing the name spelling. We didn't pronounce it Muller.

I'm not a phonics person by any means, so I'm probably not explaining this very well...
