[Opinions] Cohen and Koen are not pronounced the same
in reply to a message by countrygirl12
Koen is KOON not KO-un, if he has a very Dutch LN, I think it's strange to say KO-un (but of course, I am Dutch). Having said that, I quite like Koen, I like it better than Cohen, because it's meant to be a FN and not a LN like Cohen is. Also another way spelling Koen in Dutch is Coen, if you're looking for an alternative to Cohen, maybe that's an idea as well.
