[Opinions] Re: How would you pronounce these names?
in reply to a message by coldplayer9
I'm from Northern California.
Jacqueline - JAK-ə-lin
Genevieve - JEN-ə-veev
Ephraim - EE-free-im
Tamara - TAM-ə-rə / tə-MAHR-ə (I've heard both so it depends on how the person's name is pronounced)
Anastasia - a-nə-STAY-zhə (I pronounce it a-nə-STAHS-ee-ə in my head even though I know that's not exactly a valid pronunciation)
Joel - JOL
Madeline - MAD-ə-lin / MAD-ə-lien (I go back and forth because I've heard both)
Andrea - AN-dree-ə for girls, ahn-DRE-ah for Italian guys
Renee - rə-NAY
Serena - sə-REEN-ə
Jacqueline - JAK-ə-lin
Genevieve - JEN-ə-veev
