How to pronounce "Colle"?

Anyone know how this should be pronounced. My instinct would be "col", but I've heard both "coller" and "colly".
C is pronounced like "K". and the "e" at the end is not absorbed.
and the "e" is pronounced like the german "e". Like in the word "hoover".
Hi,

Edgar Colle was Belgian. In France we pronounce it [kɔl] and it looks like it is a (Belgian) French name. But it might also be a Flemish name, thus [kɔlə].
Any Belgian chess player around?
