ArchivesRe: Need to know the meaning of my child's name and how to say it
in reply to a message by Sharon Lane
Where did you find the name? Did you make it up, see it written or printed somewhere, or hear someone say it?
If you made it up, then your word is law. If you want it to sound like Jamare, Ja-mihair, Reginald or anything else, it's your decision.
If you read it somewhere, then you should be able to trace it back to its source. Do that; then decide if it sounds good to you or not. Then go back to the first point.
If you heard someone say it, then you already know how one other person said it. That's a start ...
I am surprised that your child's teachers don't simply ask him what he is called at home.

Jamaihair would sound like "J'mere", or "zh'mere" in French pronunciation, if it's of French origin or influence.
On the other hand, if it's of Arabic origin or influence, then it's "Ja-my-ha-ear"
I hope no one will make fun of the child by saying "Jam my hair"!
IMHO, this name is of Arabic origin, but maybe from a region that speaks French now? Some countries in Africa speak either Arabic or French as their official languages, so it'll depend on where the name's really from and what the current pronunciation is from the originating location/country/language.
