[Opinions] Corinna
Corinna How would you pronounce this? I love ko-RIN-nah but I keep seeing ko-REEN-ah
Is it just one of those names that you have to always tell people how you want it said? WDYT of the name in general?

Co-REE-na comes pretty naturally to me (sounds just like the song). I love it.

kore-EEN-uh is how I have always heard it pronounced. I don't think your pronunciation would be natural for people.How funny that you asked about this name. It came to my mind last night when I was in the shower, and I called my husband into the bathroom to ask if he liked Corinna. And he does, to my surprise:)

I would say co-RIN-ah. It's a nice name, and I prefer it to Corinne.

I assume it's Coh-RIN-na and I love it. Classy and elegant.
The French pronunciation of Corinne is Coh-REEN. But I've only ever seen Corinna in print.

I thought it would be Cor-in-nah when I first saw it, close to what you want.I think it's a nice strong name, I would probably pair it with a softer sounding middle name like Corrina Livia or Corrina Rachelle

I love it! This was a favorite awhile back - I think my combo was Corinna Ruby. I pronounce it kor-REEN-ah, simply because my friend's mom was named Corinna and that's how she said it.
