ko, gu, and re are each a separate syllable.
"ko" as the "co" in "co-op"
"gu" is like "goo", but shorter (don't extend the vowel sound)
"re" as in "rend"

Which?
Japanese name just using "Roman" reading/spelling.

If in EN,

If in JP copy to below.

小暮さん (Mr./Mrs. Kogure = Kogure-san)
Also other different meaning Kanji using 木暮,古暮... and more exist. (all same pronunciation)

Real Kogure-san seems living about 40,000 total as Japanese.
He(guest) is one of 小暮さん.

Japan population over 0.125 billion recorded in this year.
So real Kogure-san not so many about 0.0037%(= 37/10,000).

Using Kogure for "LAST name" usual as real name.
Never heard as "FIRST name" except created something characters.
