[Opinions] Re: Marjorie or Marjolaine?
in reply to a message by Lumi
Marjolaine if I'd be guaranteed the use of the proper French pronunciation. It's the French translation of my name and I use it when speaking French. It's got an absolutely beautiful sound.
If we're talking about the English speaking world, then Marjorie. It sounds nice enough in English, but mostly it would make me sooo sad to hear Marjolaine get butchered.
Images I get:
Marjorie - English pronunciation - upper class lady who plays tennis and has her own herb garden for cooking.
Marjolaine - French pronunciation - the wind blowing through said herb garden
