[Opinions] Pronunciation Concerns
We found out yesterday that Iris will be getting a little brother! I posted a few weeks ago asking for opinions on Albert vs. Arthur and would like to thank everyone for their responses; you guys gave some great feedback. I still can't decide between the two and DH and I are also still looking at other options. The situation I am facing now is this: I have just realized that my daughter, who is 4, is having trouble with the pronunciation of Arthur because of the "r" and "th" sounds. It comes out sounding like, "Aw-fuh." Granted, she will most likely eventually get over her speech difficulties with speech therapy, but the question I have is this: should the fact that Iris is having trouble pronouncing Arthur now count as a disincentive for us using the name for her little brother?Thanks!
