[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce Tarik? (2 questions)
in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess
I would say TAR-ick initially, and would guess that if I saw it on someone of European descent, but if I saw the name on someone of Arab or African descent I would say tar-EEK.
If you're asking what spelling I'd pick for the pronunciation tear-ick, I'd say Terrick is the most straightforward, but I like the look of Tarek (although I'd initially say it TAR-ek, rhyming with Marek). Teric or Terik would be another option - T + Eric / Erik.
