HelpKOR-in
in reply to a message by Amy
I'm from the US, and I've only heard it pronounced KOR-in. It sounds like the word core with an 'n' added.
I had a teacher with this name.

Both in Australia where I grew up (I went through 8 years of schooling with a Corinne and have known at least 4 other Corinnes of various ages) and in the US, where I currently live.

That reminds me. My college roommate was named Zoe. At the time she was born, 1960, that was a very unusual name, and it still was when we were roommates in 1978. It seemed as if her parents were quite determined to use unusual names. Her brother's name was Reed, an unusual name to give in the early 1960s, when he was born. And then there was her sister, Karen. Not so unusual you say? Well, it wouldn't have been if the pronunciation were not KOR-in, just as you've described. I always thought that to insist on pronouncing Karen KOR-in was so weird.
