Re: Bronte
in reply to a message by sprout
I've always heard Brontë, as in Emily, Charlotte, or Anne, pronounced BRON-tee (seeing as it comes from Brunty) even though my instinct was to go with BRON-tay before I heard it. It's one of the very few LN FNs I like. Certainly cooker than Harper. It feels gender neutral, though preferable on girls, as Bramwell was eclipsed by his sisters. I only like it with the accent mark, though. Bronte looks very plain.
