And my wife met them today! She was speaking to a client today who named her boy Drizzt, and when my wife recognized the name, she about flipped!
Now...the mother said that the kid's name is pronounced "Driz-ZEET", but I know that is a common error. I did a quick google of it and found this:

"Drisst" - The correct pronunciation. It is confirmed in an interview with Salvatore published in DRAGON Magazine (the TSR house mag) around the time The Legacy came out. Also, this is the way it appears in the Forgotten Realms boxed set.

BTW...I have always pronounced it Driz-it.
