Help[Opinions] Re: Danise
in reply to a message by )(
Danise doesn't work. The a instead of e makes it look as if the first syllable should have the stress. Denise isn't a favourite, and it's very dated where I live. Can't think of one younger than about 70.
ETA and then there's the pronunciation issue. French was never very popular in South African schools, the default European language was usually German, so Denise was always deNEES. French people, British people, just about anyone who'd learnt French would say deNEEZ and confuse everyone.
