HelpRe: How much does your accent influence your favourite name choices?
in reply to a message by New_Chloë
same problem. Katie and Peter are "Kadie: and "Peder", less appealing tbh. That is why I think Suzanne Collins chose Peeta for the Hunger Games character, so "Peter" would be pronounced with the more British pronunciation / potentially sounded more attractive to her.

This made me think of Game of Thrones.
When reading the books, I always said Petyr (Little Finger) as Pee-teer or Peh-teer (emphasis on the last sound being closer to ''ee''). Whereas in the HBO series, it was simply pronounced like ''Peter'', like regular English. G.R.R. Martin has commented that he doesn't give out pronunciation guides and the readers can imagine the pronunciation they wish. It's just interesting how show producers interpreted it compared to some readers.

oh no... we all called him "Peeda" here, haha! We really cannot handle that sharp T.
if you listen to JLaw in the movies she still says it "Peeda" as well actually lol
right, we will find a way to still say it wrong lmao
