Re: How would you spell a name
in reply to a message by Caralena Estelle
Dionne has an OHN ending. At least it did in the movie Clueless and she was the only one I ever heard of (oh and Dionne Warwick). I'm probably just explaining it wrong, sorry, but the AHHH in see-AHN sounded different. Sorry, I suck at explaining pronunciations. Cianne is SEE-ann to me.
I wish I could think of an example....Argh. I guess I'll probably go with Cyan and pronounce it SIE-an. I like that too :P

Ok to me those sounds are all identical.
okay. so. I read most of this thread out loud because I am procrastinating and to illustrate the complete baffled-ness that goes through my mind during most of these pronunciation discussions.
