[Opinions] Re: Jacquetta
I think Jacquetta is really cool, actually! I've been pronouncing it jah-KET-uh, though Jacqueline in English is JAK-lin (though I prefer jak-LEEN, like the French pronunciation), so I don't know if the emphasis changes. (Also, I know the Italian cognate (Giachetta) is JAH-ke-tah, so I don't know which one Jacquetta really takes after..***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

The emphasis is on the second syllable in the Italian form.
