Help[Opinions] Guess what? ;o)
in reply to a message by Elinor
I've heard Corinna prn as kaw-RIN-uh, so it apparently is as ambiguous in prn as Corinne (and the various spellings). (Hope this doesn't completely turn you off from using Corinna!) People who don't automatically assume the kaw-REEN prn *always* make sure to ask me how my name is prn, which is very nice, imo. ;o)

Really? Well there goes my theory! Lol ... kaw-RINN-uh is quite pretty too in fact. I'm sure I could put up with that sometimes if my name were Corinna ;-) It is so confusing though!

Yes, it is confusing.
It's worse, though, when I meet people who *insist* on calling me cor-EEN b/c "it has an e on the end which makes the i a long vowel." I had a girl who constantly did this ask me, "Why prn it cor-IN if there's an e on the end? Shouldn't it rhyme with chlorine?" (As if I like having my name compared to a chemical!) I asked if she prn feminine as femineen and masculine as masculeen and that shut her up. ;o)
