Help[Opinions] Re: Yo! Adrian!
in reply to a message by RoxStar
Completely forgot about the Rocky connection! Lol.
Btw I’ve always thought Adrian and Adrienne were pronounced the same. I’m not sure how you would say them differently.

You pronounce Adrian bluntly, like Adrian Brody, and Adrienne sounds French (because it is).
So, its Ay-dree-in and Ay-dree-enn.

I do know two women named Adrienne who pronounce it the same as Adrian.

I'm willing to bet the Adrian you met has had Yo! Adrian! used on her many, many times.
Adrienne is pronounced (in the US, anyway, the two I've known) Ay-dree-ENN.

The two Adriennes I've known, also US are Adrian pen. I far prefer ay-dree-ENN.

Yes, the 2-3 I've met pronounced it like Adrian as well.

Same here. I've never known an Adrienne who pronounced it with the accent on the last syllable. I honestly can't see too many Americans making the effort to do that.

Makes sense, although the last-syllable emphasis prn. sounds very similar (almost exactly the same to me). I kind of prefer it pronounced like Adrian.

Yeah, I knew an Adrienne who pronounced it like Adrian.

So did I, in high school. Outside of Francophone places, I think most people would pronounce Adrian and Adrienne the same way. Whenever a customer at work tells me she's Adrian/Adrienne (happened a few times), I always have to verify spelling. I've even seen Adrianne now and then, but I'm not a fan of that spelling because it makes me think the name is ay-dree-AN.

Oh! And...
There was a song by a band called The Calling entitled Adrienne, and they, too, pronounced it like Adrian. lol it was one of my favorite songs as a teen.
