Re: Which pronunciation of...
in reply to a message by Jaime
I believe the correct pronunciation is something like LOORDZ, and I have no idea if the 'popular' one (something like LOOR-dess) is legit at all. I also think it's a bit odd on a non-Spanish child, but not horrible. I recently cared for triplets (Caucasian), two boys and a girl, named Liam, Logan & Lourdes (LOOR-dess). The names together were extremely trendy and cutesy together imo, not good at all. But that's the only actual "Lourdes" I've ever met. :bETA: I clicked on the link. I was wrong about the correct pronunciation (no Z sound on the end), but the LOOR-dess one is not even close! lol
