How do you say it?


Nina J wrote: How do you pronounce your name and your kids name? I sometimes wonder if I am saying everybody's name right, when I read the names in the signature. I bet I am pronouncing half of them wrong blush.gif

Nina = Knee-na
Emily= Emma-Lee
Odessa = Oh-des-a (so many people say Odessa wrong)

I think I've actually asked people how they say there names before, if I have, I've completly forgotten.

DH is Bob

Twelve Volt Man replied: We've got easy to pronounce names, too. I'm Jay, my wife is Melissa, and our soon-to-arrive son is Samuel.

luvmykids replied: Ours are pretty basic...

Macie is May-c
Kylie is Ky-lee
Colt
I'm Monica, the only time someone says it differently than I do is if they use the Spanish pronunciation, which is Moe-knee-cah.

My poor stepdaughter gets her name massacred, it's Nikka, Knee-kah, but people say Nickuh.

Crystalina replied: Mine is Crystal....my family uses the spanish sounding name which will be hard for me to type but I'll try....Kadee-stall..the "dee" is more of a tongue roll. It's how you pronounce the expensive Crystal wine for whoever has heard it.

Izabella....Iz-a-bell-a
Again my family has their own twist that I use on occasion which... ees-a-bell-a but that would be if her name were spelled Isabella. I use ees-a-bell-a once in awhile.

Evan...simple enough

dh is Gene....sounds like jean.
