Help[Opinions] Re: French BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
OK... I would like to know, how do you say Maëlane? How do you say the A's in it?
Are they as in can, or as in sawn? Or one of each?
Which syllable is stressed?
Any idea where that name comes from?
- mirfak

It's an elaborated female version of Maël. I'd say mah eh lahn - I think what I'm describing as the ahn part might be awn for you?
The closest Forvo has is Maëlys, which gives you the first part:

eta: oh and here's Orlane to give you the second part, though this speaker is exaggerating the final syllable a little:
