[Opinions] Re: Pronunciations I Find Unusual
in reply to a message by JemimahGertrude
Leslie pronounced with a Z sound instead of S.
Levine pronounced like Levigne “luh-VEEN” instead of “LEH-vine”
Aria (like the opera) pronounced “AIR-ee-uh”
Casey pronounced like Cassie
Tiller pronounced like Tyler…hm
Overall not intuitive and could easily be spelled the way you want them pronounced.

I've never heard Leslie, or Lesley, pronounced with an S sound. And I've never heard Levine pronounced in any way except luh-VEEN.
That’s interesting. It must be highly geographical because I remember thinking Adam Levine’s name must be a stage name because it was pronounced wrong from what I had previously heard! 😅
