[Opinions] Re: Picking a Pronunciation
in reply to a message by chaotic
My last name is almost never pronounced correctly, and avoiding first names with the same problem is important to me. I would never choose a pronunciation that differs widely from the norm, such as bee-AT-riss for Beatrice (I met one once). Names with multiple pronunciations, like Helena, Madeline, or Alicia, don't make it onto my lists.
