Re: Evander, Leander, Otto, and Lana
in reply to a message by Julia
Bah, Evan is the reason I've already relegated Evander to the middle name spot!Otto and August definitely begin differently for me, but I know how similar they are in a lot of north American accents. I say OT-o and AW-gust, or AW-to and OW-goost if I'm being a little pretentious.I understand the dislike for Lana, what I can't understand is why I like it!

Yeah, "ot" and "awt" are identical in my accent (they both sound like the A in father: AH-to and AH-gust). Yay for California, land of the vowel mergers! :D
