I'm not sure how to pronounce this name: Care-uh-doc, CAR-uh-doc, SAHR-a-doc?

A little digging into the name found that it is related to Cedric, which is why I proposed the soft C pronunciation. I really like that fact that the meaning of the name is simply "love."

How would you pronounce this name?

Cs in Welsh are always hard. I'd pronounce it ka RAD oc.(I am Welsh.) The English version is Craddock.

I've always pronounced it CARE-uh-doc. Don't know if that's correct, though.

I would go with Care- a- doc. I almost contemplated pn it Care-a- dose, which I dont mind at all. Either way I think it should only be a mn option because that is just a lot of name for a little person

I know it, or knew it as a kid, as a ln which its owner pronounced caRADoc.

Cedric = Cerdic = Old English; which didn't have the letter K so a C always had the K sound and never the S. Not that it proves anything, necessarily. Probably safer as a mn? Rad would be a cool nn, but Carrie wouldn't!

I believe it is pronounced, "ca-RA-duk." But don't bet the farm on that one.

I like that Caradoc has a connection with Celtic Britain. :-)
