“Firstly, it’s gout gout,” James Templeton told SEN Radio.
“Yeah, yeah, I know there was a bit of discussion and I know his dad made a few comments, but Gout Gout is how it’s going to be.
“This is definitely gout gout. You know, the thing you hope to avoid in your ankle.
“That’s how it’s pronounced.”
Bona Guot is adamant that his son’s current pronunciation is “unacceptable”.
“His name is Guot, it must be Guot,” he said. “When I see people calling it Gout Gout, I’m not very happy about it.

“I know gout gout is the name of a disease, but I don’t want my son to be called the name of a disease… that’s something that’s not acceptable.”
Daily Mail Australia understands the reason for the mistake was a translation error in Arabic by the Sudanese government, as the family had migrated to Egypt.
The accident also took place before Gout was born in Australia.
The Ipswich product set the athletics world on fire with his lightning speed, producing the fastest 200 meters ever run by a 16-year-old.
His recent time of 20.04 at the Australian All Schools Athletics Championships in Brisbane makes him the sixth fastest under-20 athlete in the world.
Gout also clocked an impressive 10.04 in her 100m heat – and won the final.
Meanwhile, Athletics Australia president Jane Fleming said the sports organization will try to “quiet” the noise surrounding the teenage sprint sensation gout.
Fleming – who won gold medals in the heptathlon and long jump at the Commonwealth Games – stressed that expectations should not reach manic levels.
Gout recently broke a 56-year-old Australian record to become the world’s fastest 16-year-old over 200m at the Australian All Schools Athletics Championships
Former athletics star turned TV personality Matt Shervington was blown away, suggesting the prodigy has more potential than Olympic legend Usain Bolt
“You can imagine at the moment he’s going to have every sporting code, every agent, every trade body, they’re all going to be after him and he’s not even finished Year 11,” she told 2GB’s Wide World of Sports.
“Part of our responsibility as an organization is to make sure the young man turns 30 in good physical and mental shape, so we have to try to temper him…make sure he goes back to school, goes out with his friends, having a good time with it all while progressing along the way.
“The road is long. Rightfully so, he’ll probably make the world championships next year and then the Olympics and another Olympics and maybe another Olympics after that.
Fleming added that Athletics Australia want to see Guth “have a long and fruitful career” – and the young gun is lucky to have a “fantastic coach in Dee Shepard”.
ex singing star turned TV personality Matt Shervington was smittensuggesting the prodigy has more potential than Olympic legend Usain Bolt.
And even Bolt himself was impressed, saying that Gout “looks like me at the same age”.
