One more question

How do you pronounce Paule, the French feminine form of Paul? I'm taking a shot in the dark and guessing pol-AY, but I want to confirm that.

Thanks guys. ZHAN POL (Jeanne Paule) it is then!

Identical to Paul, like others said.

However, we around here say Pahl for Paul. Paule has a bit more of an O sound. The mouth is more rounded. Just don't say aaaa like at the doctor.

That was confusing, huh?

I think, there is no difference in pronuciation between PAUL and PAULE. If it was pol-AY, there would have to be an accent on the E.

I knew a Paule

She was from a French speaking Caribbean Island. It is indeed pronounced identical to the masculine name Paul.
