Re: stupid pronunciations...
in reply to a message by brydz
Add-elle sounds like 'addle' to me, as in addled eggs. Yuck. EEV-lyn seeems to be a fairly common pronunciation here, but I think Ever-lyn is much nicer.
The various non-Welsh weird pronunciations of Megan drive me nuts, but I think the silliest I've come across was a student I had called Vivienne, pronounced Viv-EEN.

Viv-EEN :(what a horrible butchering of a beautiful name. Vivienne pronounced properly is such a pretty, feminine name and Viv-EEN makes the owners parents seem so ignorant.
