If your dictionary gives pronounciation spelling, look under the English word "hawk" (the bird) Peter's last name is pronounced like that bird is in Danish.
If you give me your phone number, I can tell you on the phone - Peter is my cousin.

hö
I am not good at phonetics, unfortunately, but the last name is pronounced hö (you don't hear the "g"). The first name is pronounced something like payta.
