HelpRe: Anneliese or Annalisa?
in reply to a message by Daffodil
I love both names equally, I knew an Annalisa in high school and thought her name was so cool. But yes, I would pronounce them differently.
I don't think it would be much of a problem though, just correct people a few times and they should get it eventually.

I agree; I've (only somewhat known) one (I think Annaliese--but her spelling may have been different, and though I cannot remember which version of that one may be, I know an Annalisa better--who pronounces my name as Bahwbwah--we have innocent flirting between us.
I love how who you describe the schwa spelling - which "may" imply an allowed even understood variance; I love that. If I were an Anneliese, I'd probably introduce my name as Anneliese, (without any 'A' sound--save the initial 'A'); and never correct anyone.
The allowed variance would be significant to me--and I'd be apt to discuss this vocally. Many people even in one day pronounce /Barbra/ (to me) differently due to accent--and many call me any of the numerous variations-and any individual would not necessarily use (or limit themselves) to merely version (between Barbra / Bobbie / Barbie).
I wrote on another "ops" query one or two years prior "must we scrutinize every paper ballot?".

I think during a recent query about one's own names - I believe that I'd forgotten to mention that if there are soft, extremely innocent, mild flirtatious relation(s) with a lady--which may imply that I am in the habit of getting coffees or small pastries or something for her--and if this lady will not call me 'Barbie', I'll jokingly--yet (mildly), affectionately, complain--and write my name on a paper /Barbra/ - and say, as my finger underlines the letters "rbra" letters - don't you see - Barbie?
