HelpHow would you pronounce some of my favorites?
On my list there are some names that have got me thinking that I probably love them in my own special pronunciations of them. Some of them can be pronouced in different ways though so I was just wondering how you all said some of my favorites...
Antonia (an-TON-ee-uh/an-TAWN-yah etc..)- I say an-TONE-yah
Camilla (cah-MILL-uh/cah-MEEL-uh etc)- I say cah-MILL-uh
Catriona - I say cah-tree-AWN-uh
Celine/Celina (say-LEEN, kah-LEEN, sih-LEEN) - I say sih-LEEN (Celine Dion)
Celia (SEL-ya, CEEL-yah) - I say SEL-ya
Corinna (cah-REEN-ah/coh-REEN-ah/core-IN-uh) - I say core-IN-uh
Danica (dan-EE-cah/DAN-ih-cah) - I say DAN-ih-cah
Fabian (FAH-bee-ahn/FAY-bee-an) - I say FAY-bee-in
Gaia (GAY-a, GYE-uh) - I say GYE-uh
Johanna (yo-HAHN-uh/jo-HAHN-uh/jo-ANN-uh/jo-HAN-uh) - I say yo-HAHN-uh
Katia (KAY-sha/KATE-yah/KATE-ee-uh) - I say KAY-sha
Kieran (KEER-an/KIE-ran) - I say KEER-an (Kiran to me is KIE-ran)
Lara (LARE-uh/LAR-uh/LOR-uh) - I say LARE-uh
Maia (MAY-uh, MIE-uh) - I say MIE-uh
Malia (MAL-yah/mah-LEE-uh) - I say mah-LEE-uh
Rhiannon (ree-AN-uhn/REE-an-un) - I say ree-AN-uhn
Talia (TAHL-yah/TAL-yah/TAL-ee-uh) - I say TAL-yah
Tatiana (Ta-tee-AN-uh/ta-TYAN-uh (ta like in tattle)/tah-TYAN-uh/ta-tee-ahn-uh etc) - I say tah-TYAN-uh
Long I know, but just wondering if I was pronouncing any completely wrong and how everyone else says them! Thanks!

Camilla (cah-MILL-uh/cah-MEEL-uh etc)- I say cah-MILL-uh
Depends on the language - English preferred would be how you pronounce it, but in Italian/Spanish and many others it would be MEEL-uh.

Antonia: an-TOH-nee-uh
Camilla: kuh-MEE-luh
Catriona: kuh-TREE-uh-nuh (the penultimate syllable just barely there)
Celine/Celina: suh-LEEN, suh-LEE-nuh
Celia: SEEL-ee-uh
Corinna: ker-IHN-nuh
Danica: DAN-ih-kuh
Fabian: FAA-bee-in (AA as in "attic")

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.

I like Rioridan pro ROAR-i-dan sometimes
I pronounce them all like you do except Johanna. I pro it with Jo not Yo.

Rioridan is made up
You added a vowel/syllable - is this to emphasize your preferred nn: Rory?
Riordan is pronounced REAR-dan in English and more traditionally RAY-ohr-dan in Irish. The first syllable is "RAY-ohr" -- kind of flows together.

Yeah, I like this pronunciation better, too, but unless you're in Ireland, you probably won't get too many people to say it this way.
