[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any name that whose pronunciation has to be explained as a first name. Knew an Anna whose parents pronounced it the European way ( Ah-na). She was livid whenever someone mispronounced her name. She just got so sick of having the same conversation over and over. I would never do that to my kid. Other examples: Maria pronounced with a long I ( Mariah) Clive pronounced the a long e ( Cleve) Joanna with the syllable juncture in a different place. ( Joan-na) Totally fine if that’s the standard pronunciation in your home country . Otherwise, it’s mean. [/quote] I HATE this. I could never do this to a kid. But one thing that I've realized is that SO many more names fall under this than I originally realized. For example -- Lauren -- is it law-ren or lore- in or Laurie - Law-ree / Lore - ee [/quote]
