HelpRe: Names you have mispronounced or misunderstood
in reply to a message by Sharlotte
Imogen - when I first heard of this name, before I ever saw it written down, I thought it would be spelled like Immajen or something.
Ceridwen - always went to say SERRY-dwen instead of ke-RID-wen
Roisin - said it like ROE-zen instead of roe-SHEEN
Liza - said it like lee-za in my head
Dorothea - at first though it was pronounced the same as Dorothy
Margot - initially pronounced the t
Marcel - thought that the emphasis was on the first syllable (MAR-sell, kind of like parcel), which to me differentiates it from the girl version Marcelle (mar-SELL), but they're pronounced basically the same.
Anais - always said it with a silent S, like a-NAY instead of a-ny-eess or whatever. Actually, I still do leave the S silent. To me it sounds better.
