HelpRe: Celine
in reply to a message by Lily
Yes, it does make me think of Celine Dion and I don't really like the name. I just really dislike all heaven associated named that start with Cel-.
Celine or Céline doesn't matter. It's the same. I prefer Céline as long as no one thinks is pronounced like say-leen (I can't even begin to explain how much the -ay pronunciation of é in French names annoys me).

Ahhhh me too! My mom is French and I always try to explain that it's not really an AY but rather a really long EHHH sound. But it's not really an EHHH either. Argh. It's so hard to explain.

Man, y'all are just gonna have to compromise. Sounds that don't exist in a given language get stylized one way or another in translation.
