I would have liked Rani if they had pronounced it the way it's written (similar to Dani)... but they actually pronounce it the same as Ronnie (in honour of the baby's paternal grandfather), which in my eyes is counterintuitive. The little girl will have to spend her whole life correcting people about the pronunciation of her name.https://www.instagram.com/p/BofAAF4BNz6/?hl=nl&taken-by=katehudson (swipe right to the third slide)

I was interested when they specified that it is pronounced like Ronnie. My first instinct when I saw it was to pronounce it Rah-ni (long first syllable, the way I think that want it said) but I'm Australian so that's not how I would pronounce Ronnie, which has a very short first syllable.

My first instinct was to pronounce it “rainy” and then secondly “Ronnie.” Saying in like Dani would have never occurred to me.
