Re: Bayard and Sacha
in reply to a message by Ismene
I've not heard this pronounced but it looks to me like "BAY-ərd". I would not have intuited a one-syllable pronunciation. If I saw Baird, I would pronounce it as one syllable and would wonder if it was a family surname handed down; I would not mentally connect it to Bayard.
ETA: Forgot to address Sacha...I don't personally care for it but I consider it as masculine, exotic and nickname-y, and I don't ever enjoy it on a girl.
