Pronunciation of Carlisle and Carlyle?
Replies
Living near a town of Carlisle, locals here pronounce it as Car-lie-elle or Car-lie-uhl. I would pronounce Carlyle the same way, but as a name, I prefer Carlisle.

I pronounce it Car-lie-uhl
I pronounced the -elle or -uhl so you can't tell the difference, just automaticly. For that matter, who says you can't spell it 'Carlile'?

But Carlisle IS spelled the way you pronounce it! Think about the words 'isle' and 'island'. So, Carl-isle! See?
Oh, now I see! I always pronounced 'island' as 'ice-land', being a foreigner and all. But now I get it! :-)
