Re: pronunciation + Elvis
in reply to a message by Katie
If I met an Elvis I'd just assume his parents were fans. It's not so bad.
I always thought Berenice was beh-reh-NEES, which it is, in French. The English pronunciation on here seems very odd to me. And I thought Lalage, which I've only ever seen in pre-war novels, was la LAHZH, and Amyas was am EYE as.
My sister dated a Mikhail and it was pronounced mi ka ILL. Your second pronunciation sounds more like Irish Mícheál - maybe someone's confused?
