[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation preference...
in reply to a message by mirfak
It's quite the lovely and unexpected little name when you look at it's etymology. It's one of the things that I like best about it.
I also learned Nay Deen with the same subtle stresses you use. I only learned the other pronunciations in the past few years.
Nəh-DEEN certainly seems foreign to me too, but I find it lovely. Maybe a bit softer than the Nadine I am used to.
I have only met one Nadine in my life though - she said nay-deen.
