Help[Opinions] Re: How would you pronounce these names?
in reply to a message by coldplayer9
Jacqueline = JACK lyn, but I've heard everything from JACK uh lyn to JA kwe leen!
Genevieve = JEN uh veev in English, ZHAHN v'yehv in more-or-less French
Ephraim = EF rame to rhyme with frame or game
Tamara = TA muh ruh with the a as in apple. In Afrikaans, probably tuh MAH rah
Anastasia = Anna STAY zha
Joel = JOE'l, with the ' close to a glottal stop
Madeline = MAD 'lyn, with the ' close to a glottal stop. But most people here make it three distinct syllables: MA da lyn (or MA da laine if it's Madeleine)
Andrea = ANN dree ah
Renee = ruh NAY (majority); REN ay (me)
Serena = se REE nuh
I'm South African but apparently I sound British: people get fooled all the time.
