[Opinions] Re: Marie?
in reply to a message by Evie.
I love it pronounced the Swiss way. I have a good friend named Marie from Switzerland and the name is pronounced MAH-ree there, with the emphasis on the first syllable. I like it a lot better than mah-REE. The usual German pr. is mah-REE as well, it's only in Switzerland that it is said MAH-ree (like Mary, but the first part sound like MAH and not MEH).If I could make people pronounce it the Swiss way I might consider it but I don't really like the other pronunciation much even though it's still nice that way and should make a comeback.For my pronunciation Mari might be better but I dislike the way it looks.Marie Valentina, Violet, Juliet, Elizabeth Clara, Winter and Ava Louisa are great. I like most of the others, too. Marie Sky would be sweet and kind of interesting.
