Not very hard to pronounce, really, unless you have some sort of speech impediment. Try "voo'elling" as an approximation. In Spanish the letter "v" is pronounced as "b" as you will have gathered from your Spanish friend if he/she isn't still laughing at your pronunciation.

Given that "vuelo" means "I fly" or "flight" in Spanish, it doesn't seem a nonsense (or even a "nonses" ) name to me - on the contrary, seems perfectly reasonable.
