HelpRe: Sonja in English? (m)
in reply to a message by Jacinta Ismene
My aunt's name is Katja prn kat-ja. The only Sonja I know prns it sawn-ja.
ooh, the second one's a lie. I know two Sonjas, and one does pronounce it sawn-ya.

Really? That's interesting, I never would have expected that. I think being on BtN so much kind of warps my perceptions of how people might pronounce things, since I just expect everyone to know/use the pronunciations in the database, lol.
ETA: Of course in the database the given pronunciation for Sonja is ZAWN-ya, so I don't know why I wouldn't expect it to be pronounced that way, then. *shrug*
