HelpRe: French Pronounciation
in reply to a message by HappyIguana
Whenever there's a French pronunciation of something, I tend to prefer it to any other. So, with that being said:
Vincent - Probably one of the few time I'll say I prefer the English pronunciation. One point for VIN-sint.
David - I choose dah-VEED.
Gabriel - I prefer the English, but only because Gabrielle is one of my favorite girls names.
Quentin - Cone-TAHn 100%. I hate QUEN-tin.
Arthur - Ar-TUERR sounds much softer and more poetic to me.
Alice - Ah-LEESE definitely. AL-iss has never done anything for me, yet it's oh so popular on the boards.
Helen - Eh-LEN. Much more graceful than HEL-en.
Lucas - Loo-KAH. *swoons*. So poetic. I've been toying with the name Louis-Lucas (loo-EE-loo-KAH) for fun lately. :)
Ocean - Oh-see-ANN. Gorgeous sound with a lovely image attached. Too bad I could never get away with it in a non-French speaking environment. OH-shin is so gross sounding.
