[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Andrei would be mispronounced (unless it is Andre-ee?)
Andrey would get confused with Audrey 90% of the time, and the other 10% would be pronounced as Ann-dree

I vote Andre. I actually don't think Andre reads AA. I've known several Andres that were Hispanic/Italian/latin, so that would be my first thought.

#1 Andre
#2 Andrei[/quote]

All Andrés I know are french, not AA. SMDH.

André[/quote]

Do you know French people named Andre or André?

To me, André is French but that’s as different from Andre as Andrei is.

I thought OP meant André but didn't know how to do the accent mark. [b]Andre is pronounced Andrrrr.[/b] [/quote]

what?? that's not how I'd pronounce Andre

And a big NO on accent marks. They aren't on American keyboards.[/quote]

How do you pronounce the word Andre as spelled? Do you pronounce Claire as Claire-ay? A silent e is typically silent unless you have a different indication. If people are this stupid I totally think OP should pursue Andrei. That tells you to do something with that 'e'. [/quote]

I speak two languages and in both Andre is pronounced the same. Claire is French and yes, I think the world has a bone to pick with France over their pronunciations in general.

I have only ever heard Andre pronounce Ahn-dray in English. [/quote]
