Re: Lucien, Gianni? Playground Problems?
I like Lucien, but it does sound kind of feminine. In French, if you are pronouncing a male name, you leave the 'N' sound off of the end, so that might help. (ex. it would be Loo-see-eh). I'm not a fan of Gianni, so I guess I'm saying I like Lucien!Ellie

Thanks for the pronunciation help =)In the Thomas Crown Affiar, they mention the artist Lucien Pissarro and they pronounced the name with the "n" on the end. It now makes me wonder whether Lucien Pissarro is French or not (I thought he was), or whether they mispronounced the name in the movie!I've always been horrible in French pronunciation!
