[Opinions] Re: Arcangela
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
It's neat. It would be cool with an Italian surname.
Is it arc-AN-ge-la or ARC-an-GE-la? I'm tentatively saying it the first way.
I don't understand how Archie could be a nickname for it, though. Are people pronouncing Archie as R-key? Rhyme malarky?
I always thought Archie was pronounced with a TCH sound, rhyme starchy. Archie-rhyme-starchy as a nick for Arcangela sounds really trendy-synthetic and annoying to me.

Archie is inspired by Arcangela, not pronounced like it. I'm pronouncing Arcangela the first way you outlined.
