HelpRe: Marlene vs Marlena
in reply to a message by BookEm'Danno
Are they Mar-LEEN and Mar-LAY-na, or both Mar-LAY-na (mar-LEN-na)?
Because of Marlene Dietrich, I tend to read Marlene as Mar-LAY-na. I haven't met any that say it like that, though. I worked with a gal named Marlene once, pronounced Mar-LEEN. Wow, she was singular and memorable.
I don't love -ene and -ina ending names. I like Marlena - AY-na not EE-na. So I'll go with that.
If it's Marlene Mar-LEEN vs. Marlena Mar-LEEN-a, I think I like Marlene a little better.
OT Lydia is very photogenic. Cute harness. Does she actually walk on the leash? That's so cool.

Mar-LEEN for Marlene, which is how the name is typically said over here, and then Mahr-LEEN-uh for Marlena, although Mar-LAY-na and mar-LEN-na are both really stunning as well. I really like all pronounciations.
And thank you for your comment regarding the photo (: She does actually walk on the leash, although only going where she wants to go. I trained her since she was itty bitty, until she got used to wearing the harnesses and now I can put it on her without problem.
