[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are most of you pronouncing the name with an ah sort of a or an a as in apple (like the beginning of Larry but with an a at the end)? I have heard it both ways. There's a news reporter who pronounces it with the apple sound. Just from the way it is spelled, it looks as though it should be said with the apple sound, but you never know with names.

I've heard:   lar (like tar) + ah[/quote]

^ different than Laura (lore-ah)[/quote]

I wouldn't pronounce Laura as lore-ah. That is spelled Lora, a different name. The first syllable in Laura is more like law.

I was in grade school with a Laura, and it was pronounced Lore-ah.  Every Laura I've known since then pronounced it Lore-ah.  The only women I know who pronounce it Lawr-rah are foreign.  [/quote]

The people I've known with the name have been quite clear that it is not pronounced Lora or Lori because those are different names. There is no "o" in Laura.  They always say they would have spelled it that way if they wanted it pronounced with the "or" sound.
