[Opinions] Re: Purposefully mispronounced names

in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I know a couple of people who gave their children Irish names, Siobhan and Saoirse, that they mispronounce but I am not positive that they ever really knew how to say them properly. I think it's kind of dumb to name your child something you cannot pronounce or think sounds better mispronounced.

•EYE-ven is also acceptable, if not technically correct. ie. Ivan the Terrible (nt)  ·  LuzDeTuVida  ·  5/5/2009, 8:51 PM
•Oh I know, but on most name boards, everyone scorns the EYE-ven pron.! . nt  ·  Chanel  ·  5/6/2009, 6:16 AM
