I thought they pronounced it Cora-LINE in the book?I've never read it, but when the movie based on the book came out a few years ago, that's how the characters pronounced it...I think. :/

My husband heard Neil Gaiman read the book.Gaiaman pronounced it cora-a-leen in it. I'm not sure about the movie at all - we never saw it - but I'm certain of the pronunciation. We're big-time Gaiman fans.

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi513934105/Maybe it's pronounced differently in the UK? Neil Gaiman is British, so it's possible.Anyway, I've only heard Cora-LINE. *shrugs*

Clementine is pronounced with a teen in the UKSo I'm fairly certain it's a US / UK thing. Either way we'd never use it just because of the pronunication difference. (Ditto for Katarina - there is little hope I'd get the German pronunication on a regular basis.)
