[Opinions] Re: Caillou
in reply to a message by abbc
I met someone in Texas who knew someone from Louisiana who had named their son that. He was still a child, but older than the TV show. They chose it because it's Cajun. It was pronounced "KYE-you," with the stress on the first syllable. I am pretty sure that's the Cajun pronunciation. Dunno how they say it in Canada. I don't like the pronunciation kye-YOU. It sounds like a dog howling to me. I think the name is okay when pronounced the way I heard it, although I find it to be a "character" name either way, kind of over-the-top.
