Would that be too hard for a little girl to pronounce her name? I mean, I live in the US, so French sounds are pretty foreign to most of us. Would the "eu" sound just be too much?Camille J

well it wouldn't be if you're willing to accept that probably EVERYONE will mispronounce her name at first. For me it would be a problem, but if I really really loved that pron. I'd use it anyway.

Yeah, mispronouncing the name isn't a huge deal for me. If the little girl can say it, then I guess I'd probably go for it. The "eu" sound is classier than just plain "oo" in my opinion.Camille J

well that shouldn't be a problem, since all children are born with the potential to speak any language, so if you teach her the sound EU, she'll definately be able to pronounce it.
