I need clarification

After reading all these name posts:

Ana is not "anna", but "on-a"? Yes, no?

Kara is care-a or car-a?

Kasi? How do you pronounce this? I thought it was case-y.

Luen: Loo-en? Yes? No?

Oy!

Re: I need clarification

  • hahah I just made a post about my name!

    it's care-uh, but I get car-uh all the time and it doesn't really bother me.  I still answer to it.

     

    in my head I say:

    on-uh (Ana)

    loo-en (Luen)

    cassie (Kasi) - which I now know is cah-see

  • Kah-see. Like when the doc says open your mouth and say "ahh". Just add a K in front.

    CRAFTY ME 

    my read shelf:
    Kasi's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)

  • Yep!  Mary & Kara, you're both right Big Smile
  • My coworkers name is Sarah.

    My boss pronounces her name Say-rah. Drives us all crazy.

  • I was pronouncing Ana like "Anna" in my head for awhile and it finally occurred to me a few weeks ago that it wasn't "Anna".
  • Still so confused on Ana.  Never in a million years would have occurred to that her name wasn't pronounced Anna.

  • I pronounce Ana like "Ahh Naah" vs "Anne-Ah"

    Kara-- the only time I've heard people pronounce "Car-A" is sometimes when it actually is spelled with a C.

    This.

    To me: 1 n = ah-na, 2 n's = anne-ah.

    I have a friend with two n's who we call ah-na, so this rule doesn't work for me.

    I know people too with 2 n's... it's like Aunt (ant vs ahnt).

  • I have an ex-coworker named Andrea. Seems standard, but she goes by Ahn-drea. She would get very offended and snappy if somebody mistakenly called her Ann-drea.

    My coworker's wife is Andrea but pronounced An-dre-ah; they are German. So that's probably the European version. One of my HS bffs is the more common Ann-dria pronunciations.
