How do you pronounce Jacqueline?
I had a poll on this a while back, and most of you voted "Other". So I was wondering, exactly, how you pronounced it.
TIA!

With this spelling, I'd pronounce it Ja-kleen. I have a friend who spells it Jacklyn and I pronounce that Jack-linn,

I pronounce it zha-ku-LEEN (almost zha-KLEEN, with just a hint of a second syllable) when I have a choice. If I knew someone who pronounced it with the emphasis on the first syllable, I'd probably say ZHAK-e-lin. I could force myself to pronounce it with the "J" sound if it mattered to the person, but I don't like the sound of "JACK-e-lin", so I'd rather not.

Jacqueline (also Jaqueline, without the c) is a french name, so it'S correctly pronounced"Jack-e-leen"Jack like Jack (but the "J" much softer as in English)
you can't really hear the "e", but somehow it's still pronounced
Leen like in Darleen, Charleen etc
In Germany this is a quite common name. Here we pronounce it "Jack-leen"Jack like the english Jack and leen as in Charleen etc
