Help[Opinions] Re: Celeb BA
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
I slightly dislike Colette (mostly based on the Col* and my dislike of Nicole), and I hate Sloane.
Koala as a MN is kind of fun, and Ava Simone's pretty.
In my accent, the initial sound in Colette / Koala seems slightly different (I kind of insert a W in koala).

Are you one of those people that says "koh-wallah"?

Out of curiosity: What else it supposed to be then?

Just take out the W sound?
koh-allah. Why do people put a W sound in there anyway?

I've never heard an American say it without the W sound. It seems to me very difficult to say without it.

In my accent (in Dutch) we tend to put it in to make it easier to say. Similar to the liaison in French. I sort of copy this in English. Kowala is much easier to pronounce for me than Koala. I don't really hear the difference when someone else says it, bc the -w- in between is without meaning for me. Just like with for exa,ple Theo, I say more THEE-yo than THEE-o. It's just easier to say with the little liaison letter in there.

More like Kwahl-ah, but yeah, I guess.
