Shermaine is a spelling variation of Charmaine. Click here: Charmaine for meaning and pronunciation.

Or, it's a combo of Sherman and Charmaine.

LUWRD, LOR-des, or LORDS and pee-LAHR or PIE-lahr

LUWRD and pee-LAHR are already listed in Lourdes and Pilar's entries in the database, btw.

LOR-des is the common American pronunciation of Lourdes, and I believe I also heard LORDS somewhere too, also as an American pronunciation; LOR-des is how you say Madonna's daughter's name, iirc. I've heard PIE-lahr as a NA pronunciation of Pilar too.

EDIT: Typo in the subject line. Also, added the PIE-lahr pronunciation.
