Really? Well there goes my theory! Lol ... kaw-RINN-uh is quite pretty too in fact. I'm sure I could put up with that sometimes if my name were Corinna ;-) It is so confusing though!

Yes, it is confusing.
It's worse, though, when I meet people who *insist* on calling me cor-EEN b/c "it has an e on the end which makes the i a long vowel." I had a girl who constantly did this ask me, "Why prn it cor-IN if there's an e on the end? Shouldn't it rhyme with chlorine?" (As if I like having my name compared to a chemical!) I asked if she prn feminine as femineen and masculine as masculeen and that shut her up. ;o)
