Re: Candace and Irene
I'd have to say 2, on a scale of one to ten--at least in the US. If you fought tooth and nail and constantly corrected people, it might work. Otherwise, it's CAN-diss and eye-REEN all the way.I prefer the more common pronunciations of both, I have to admit. Even if they were the original ways of saying them, can-DAY-see and eye-REE-nee both feel rather contrived to me. D:Array

I think it's the same here (except we're EYE-reen w/ the stress on the first syllable) ... No doubt I'm clutching at straws! :-(
