Help[Opinions] Re: Spellings vs Prns
in reply to a message by PirateCleen
Being from NE [the upper eastern corner of the US] I know that I say a few things different from other people. Like:
Mary an Meri are completely different to me [Mary is MARE-ee, and Meri is MEH-ree]
Kerri/Kerry/Keri/etc and Carrie/Karrie is another one [again, KEH-ree or KARE-ee] but Kari would be said CAR-ee.
Alice and Alyce I would say the same.
Joanna and Johanna are definately different names.
Madelyn/Madeline/Madeleine is another one I say differently depending on the spelling. It realy bothers me when the name is spelled Madeline or Madeleine and the parents say mad-ah-lyn and not mad-ah-line.
ETA: Ariel and Arielle are also said different to me. Ariel is AIR-ee-ell. And Arielle and ARE-ee-ell.
